Hope he had a good one. It would be nice if he reconciled with Brian. Van tweeted a few days ago he hasn't seen him in years.

Happy belated birthday! I get the feeling VDP, with his affection for all things Caribbean, is plotting a way to head on down to Havana....

Looks like that famous studio musician John Paul Jones also celebrated on the 3rd.  Didn't he also play bass in a failrly well-known Rock band there for awhile?  Took John Entwistles' place with some post Yardbirds outfit tossed together in order to fullfill some contractual obligations. Cool Guy

Happy belated birthday, Van! Funny to see this just now, as today I pulled Song Cycle out for the first time in ages and was enjoying it.

A bit late. Birthday, Van Dyke. Your lyrics to "Cabinessence" are absolute best in music history, in this fan's view. Hope the CA pianistic performance isn't last, apply some creme to hands & all's good.
