Birthday Highlight:

Graham Nash is 70 today today. First coming to prominence as a leader of the The Hollies, one of the most successful of the British Invasion groups of the 60s, Nash later formed folk-rock supergroup Crosby, Stills and Nash (and sometimes Young), with whom he enjoyed huge international success with such hits as "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," "Our House" and "Teach Your Children Well". Nash is a two-time inductee into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame (inducted with both groups). We played a Hollies classic this morning with Graham Nash on lead vocals, "Carousel."
