| LIFE IN SOLERA | APRIL 2024 | 37
HIGH NOTES FROM KARAOKE
I was listening to one of my favorite radio
streams on Sirius XM and the announcer
said that "you'd be surprised how many
recording stars have birthdays in April.
So I decided to check it out for myself and
wow! I was floored to discover that there
were so many celebrity birthdays in April
— in fact, every day in April has at least
one or more notable musician's birthday. I
listed only one artist for each day in April.

If some of the names on my list of
music stars with birthdays in April are
unfamiliar to you, you can Google their
name and solve that mystery. But it's no
mystery that many of you like to sing
in front of an audience and this month
