HAPPY BIRTHDAY RICHIE SAMBORA

Richie Sambora is a musician and songwriter who is best known for his long-time role as lead guitarist of American rock band, Bon Jovi. Some of this group’s biggest hits include “Livin’ on a Prayer, “You Give Love a Bad Name”, “I’ll Be There for You”, “Bad Medicine”, “Always”, and today’s attached song link.
