DYDD GWENER

Today’s day of the week is in Welsh. Meanwhile…

Apparently football is back,

Today is the birthday, in 1945, of José Monserrate Feliciano García better known as José Feliciano. He was born in Puerto Rico, the fourth child of eleven boys, blind due to congenital glaucoma. He taught himself to play many instruments (accordion at age 7) and began playing the guitar at age 9. A musician, singer and composer, he received widespread popularity in the 1960s and has released more than 50 albums worldwide. He is not only an amazing singer, but an outstanding guitarist. Here he is doing a cover of B.B. King’s ‘The Thrill is Gone’.
