Happy Birthday Geezer Butler!!

Terence Michael Joseph "Geezer" Butler was born on this day (July 17) in 1949, so he turns 70 today!

Geezer Butler, of course, was a founding member of Black Sabbath, and bassist for just about everything they've ever done, including the eight definitive "first generation" albums from 1970 through 1979.  Well, maybe the first 7 definitive albums, and Never Say Die.  And he's still touring with them now.

Geezer Butler is one of the first bass players I paid attention to, and I actually learned a little bit of some of their songs.  I had a music book for the compilation album "We Sold Our Souls...", adn one for "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" that included bass and guitar (rather than piano).  


Happy Birthday Geezer!
