Ghana¹s former President turned 64 today but unlike most years when family
and friends have been around to celebrate with the traditional cake cutting,
bowls of scrumptious delicacies, bouquets of flowers and a stream of
well-wishers from across the country and beyond, he is celebrating the day
quietly in Caracas, Venezuela where he is a special guest at the
Afro-descent Forum.
Just after the clock struck midnight Ghana time, President Rawlings
surprised many at his hotel when the lone piano sitting in a corner of the
lobby struck some soulful notes. The now 64-year-old former Achimotan had
not forgotten those difficult music lessons he endured at his Alma Mater.
Hotel guests and other revellers turned to catch a rare glimpse of His
Excellency Jerry John Rawlings strike his favourite Bright Lights, Big City
lyrics by Jimmy Reed.
Happy Birthday Papa J!!!!
