I was reading an issue of the British magazine "Juke Blues" the other day, which has an article about Willie Mitchell, a soul record producer.
"Born on 1 March 1928, in Ashland, Mississippi, the Mitchell family moved to Memphis, Tennessee when Willie was just two years old."
An odd family: parents and children born on the same day.

Actually from Quinion! "The July issue of the British magazine Juke Blues had an article
ReplyDeleteabout the soul record producer Willie Mitchell. Its first sentence
read, "Born on 1 March 1928, in Ashland, Mississippi, the Mitchell
family moved to Memphis, Tennessee when Willie was just two years
old." "What an odd family," commented Reinhard Fey. "Parents and
children born on the same day.""
Thanks to Reinhard Fey, then! Genius to spot those things!
