Usually a discovery is followed by an interview of the Oldest Person, asking "What is your secret advice to living a long life as you have?"And they usually respond with some sort of crazy thing:
and we go on our daily dailies...Se la vie... qe sera, sera....

Very good,,, you know birth order has a great deal to do with who we are. I have been on this kick for ages. It holds water in almost every social instance I have ever come across.
middle girl versus oldest girl, but second born... like that...
What? you may ask: are you on about now?
If a band leader is out to find a four piece band, he should find players as they might fit in a family of four brothers -- he would do best to find a bass player who is a middle child... lead singer is the youngest.. etc....
missed my calling? should of been a bass player?
You are exactly where you should be: band leader, songwriter, administrative... dependable, knight errant.
This is not a trick question. In effort to explain the opportunities to fit the right puzzle piece into the right slot... let's say there are three children. The oldest is a female, second is a male, and third is a male...
Our female is oldest female
second born is first born male
third is second born male
so ...very few middle child traits would be in this triad.
but in a family of four males second born would be a songwriter, and third would be an enabler, middle child. First and second born males are like a nemesis to each other. But the first born has "administrative traits."
Beatles succeed in this because they are Paul, John, George, Ringo...
administrator P
firecracker J
enabler G
cute and forever momma's boy R
my own -- Guy administrative
Vinnie enabler
Daniel adorable and lovable
Samantha first born girl Bossy and smart
I smell what you're cooking but, I am now very curious to know if Beatles band roles coincide with birth rank.
Jeeeez Maybelline: okay here goes...
John Winston Lennon October 9, 1940 - December 8, 1980
Only Child, abnormal upbringing... pre-Boomer if you consider 1946 the beginning of Baby boomers, orphaned by parents, raised by aunt. [He is similar to an Obama story.]
back to you Raymond...
James Paul McCartney June 18, 1942
Oldest of two sons... pretty normal upbringing
George Harrison February 25, 1943 - November 29, 2001 ...Harrison was born in Liverpool, England, on 25 February 1943,[8][9] the last of four children to Louise and Harold Harrison. Youngest of three boys, oldest is sister.
Richard Starkey July 7, 1940
Only Boy child, sickly childhood, lots of maladies...
interesting that there is no middle child there but, Paul wasn't really a "natural" bass player either
I would have been the bass player if you were the lead guitar. Paul had to do enabling second\middle role playing in the band.. as I see it.
John was all alpha male, scream and shout, power stance at the mic, and had the entitlement thing going on... in my opinion. It proved tragic for him.
Didn't George play a lot of Bass?
Maybe, but Paul was "the" bass player. Ron used to say that George was the ultimate studio guitarist. Meaning that he did whatever it took to put the "song" across.
John seemed classic introvert at home, extrovert on stage example.
I think Paul was bass player by default. George was too good on guitar, and John might not want to relinquish the weapon.
Haven't read your rat pack piece yet but, I'm curious as to how this applies across culture.
Can you find the same trend in soul bands for instance?
