Happy Birthday, Claire.

One Claire I know was a toddler when the Rheostatics recorded this.
Always loved the song, and Claire is the best girl's name, ever.

Life is all about beginnings and endings, and this song is all the more poignant to me now, owing to it's connection to Paul Quarrington, who wrote the song for the soundtrack for the movie based on his novel, "Whale Music".

Claire turned 20 on Jan. 20. Happy Birthday!!

Paul Quarrington died on Jan 21, 2010, at age 56.
