The sun was still shining when the guests began to assemble.
The crowd grew and the merriment increased as well.
Batt took time to greet the guests and to enjoy a story or joke with each one.
Lots of musicians showed up to celebrate.
And--of course--there was a fabulous cake!
Batt sang a song and gave some heartfelt words of appreciation. . .
. . . for his family, his friends, and his hair!
He was honored with a song, composed especially for his birthday.
The evening's music got more and more lively as the hours passed.
Happy 60th Birthday, Batt O'Connor!
