It's a great day for him to have a birthday. The best day to be born. In fact, it's my birthday too.

And it's important to note that most all of the best sounding and looking Fender guitars and amps were designed and built when Leo was running the joint. Like, "give me a real '62 P-Bass!!!". :D

It's my girlfiriend's b-day today too... a shame that I'm not really sure if she knows who Leo Fender was! :?

Now I know what is so special about this day besides being my birthday.

Happy Birthday to all who share the same.
