A Ron Dante Birthday!

Hi to all fans of the voice of The Archies,

The handsome and talented Ron Dante is having a birthday this coming Tuesday, August 22. To sign his virtual greeting card, please head on over to the special Birthday Board I've set up to commemorate the event, as I do every year (which means it probably isn't much of a surprise for him anymore - but let's keep it between us just in case!).

Feel free to make your message as brief or as heartfelt as you'd like - let Ron know how much you appreciate him. This man is not only responsible for many of my musical memories, from his work with The Archies to his years of producing with Barry Manilow, he's also one of the nicest guys out there! He deserves to be reminded how much we all love him.

Please spread the word on this; I'd like to get as many signatures as possible this year - maybe even more than a hundred. Just tell your friends, and they'll tell their friends, and so on and so on.

Thanks in advance, from Ron's biggest fan. :)
