Happy Birthday !

• 1946 Edgar Winter (1946 ?!?!? Can that be right ?) Author of the classic instrumental rock hit "Frankenstein”. They Only Come Out at Night is still one of my all time favorite albums.

• 1922 Stan Lee “With great power comes great responsibility.” Without Stan Lee there would be no Spider-Man, X-Men or Incredible Hulk. As a result of his inexhaustible imagination, Stan "the man" Lee’s superheroes have both inspired and delighted comic-loving audiences for generations. Lee first joined Marvel Comics in New York at the age of 16, and just one year later he became the youngest editor in the industry. Soon earning the titles of art director, head writer and publisher, Lee scripted a minimum of five comic books a week. In addition to his myriad of comic books, Lee has penned over a dozen best-selling books and has served as producer of Marvel’s popular Saturday Morning Cartoons that have included “Spider Man and his Amazing Friends” and “The X-Men.” Currently, Lee is the Chairman of Marvel Comics and Marvel Films, and his fascinating characters can be seen everywhere from lunch boxes to Marvel’s "Islands of Adventure" amusement park in Orlando, Florida. He has made cameos in almost all of the movies based upon his characters.
