The topics “dawn” and “hair” cropping up, is also designed to bring to mind "The Age of Aquarius", a song written for the musical Hair, by James Rado & Gerome Ragni, and Galt MacDermot. Note the following info on the writers and producer of the song:
Ragni’s date of birth is an obvious one. January 23 is also the birthday of my new grandson and December 18 is the birthday of my sister. As for Bones Howe, his birthday is an addition to a cluster found in my previous post:
- James Rado (January 23, 1932)
- Gerome Ragni (September 11, 1935 – July 10, 1991)
- Galt MacDermot (December 18, 1928)
- Producer: Dayton Burr "Bones" Howe (born March 18, 1933)
Bridging the March 19 gap using the formula as per usual and taking into consideration the “one off” curve ball, we arrive at:
- “ March 12,... 18, __, 20(x2), 21(x2), __, __, 24/ Date Sequence” pattern-cluster
Here’s the scoop— I was born on Namboodiripad’s birthday ; my sister ... also named “Joanne” was born one day before Joanne Weaver’s birthday, and so we now have a “December __, 18(x3), 19, __/ Date Sequence” pattern-cluster. And Prechtl’s birthday adds to a cluster in my previous post:
- 1998 – E. M. S. Namboodiripad (13 June 1909 – 19 March 1998) Indian theorist and politician, 1st Chief Minister of Kerala
- 2000 – Joanne Weaver (December 19, 1935 – March 19, 2000) American baseball player
- 2003 – Michael Mathias Prechtl (April 26, 1926 – March 19, 2003) German soldier and illustrator
“April __, 2, 3, 4(x2), __, __, 7, 8, 9, 10(x2),... 23, ... 26, ...29/ Date Sequence” pattern-cluster
- Sheila Franklin – Jill O'Hara / Lynn Kellogg
- Jeanie – Sally Eaton
- Neil "Woof" Donovan – Steve Dean / Steve Curry
- Hud – Arnold Wilkerson / Lamont Washington
- Crissy – Shelley Plimpton
The original Broadway production also included Melba Moore as Dionne, Ronnie Dyson, who sang "Aquarius", Paul Jabara and Diane Keaton.[27]
"Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In", "The Age of Aquarius" or "Let the Sunshine In") is a medley of two songs written for the 1967 musical Hair by James Rado & Gerome Ragni (lyrics), and Galt MacDermot (music), released as a single by American R&B group The 5th Dimension. The song peaked at number one for six weeks on the US Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart in the spring of 1969. The single topped the American pop charts and was eventually certified platinum in the US by the RIAA.[1] Instrumental backing was written by Bill Holman and provided by session musicians commonly known as the Wrecking Crew.[2][3] The actual recording is something of a "rarity"; the song was recorded in two cities, Los Angeles and Las Vegas, then mixed together in the studio, afterwards.
The song listed at number 66 on Billboard's "Greatest Songs of All Time
