A Trigg County man brings joy to hundreds of people each year by calling to sing happy birthday. Some he knows; some he’s never met. Listen to the story here.
“People heard how well I could sing, that they got me to sing to their girlfriend and boyfriend and their children and all that stuff,” Bridges said. “And it just blew up from there.”
In 2003, news coverage of his work exacerbated this explosion. Now, Bridges personally calls and sings happy birthday to no fewer than nine individuals on any given day of the year. He sings to the most people a whopping 45 on his own birthday, May 1.
