Stay tuned I will have more of an explanation in a story about what this is all about after I reach out to a family member.
More clues with Birmingham ties:
From a You tube post 8 years ago
@ronhurley1961 John Hurley was one of the, if not the most talented people that I have ever known. I met him when I was 17 years old in Birmingham Alabam at Bob Groves recording stuido. He was there recording a friend of mine named Mike Gunnels. He drove a red sports car and always wore sunglasses. He stayed at my house and honored me with his friendship. That was over 40 years ago and I miss him to this day. He recorded the album “Street Gospel” shortly after and it is still my favorite.
It looks like it says:
FIRST LINE: Nov –14–1973
SECOND LINE: Happy Birthday “Mom” <unsure of the last word on line 2>
THIRD LINE: All the best —
FOURTH LINE: and you have! < not sure about <have>
FIFTH LINE: Love John H
