"Born on 1 Marh 1928, in Ashland, Mississippi, the Mitchell family moved to Memphis, Tennessee when Willie was just two years old"

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.

------ cfr. Grice, "Actions and Events" -- and "Way of Words".

  1. Actually from Quinion! "The July issue of the British magazine Juke Blues had an article
    about 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!
