Happy Birthday from someone who shares the same birthdate even though I am 17 years behind you.

Within a year of getting my first guitar, I discovered your music but it took seven years to see you live for the first time at the Syria Mosque in Pittsburgh back in 1975. Since then it's been live concerts at Constitution Hall (DC), Robin Hood Dell West (Philadelphia), Warner Theater (Erie, PA), Chautauqua Institution (Mayfield NY), Shea's Theatre (Buffalo) Seneca Casino (Salamanca, NY) just to name a few.

Along the way, we have spent time together and run the technology gamut from LPs, 8 track and cassette tapes to CDs and I tunes not to mention VHS and DVDs.You're the reason that my first good guitar was and still is a Martin and the first piece of sheet music I purchased from my paper route money was "If you could read my mind". These have been some pretty incredible gifts and I get to spend today with my five grandchildren.

Thanks.
