[Burr]

Gordon,
Birthday greetings from the San Francisco Bay Area wine country.
This is a landmark day in your life. Congratulations for fifty plus years on the carefree highway.
Over the years, you've issued forth a precious gift of music through raw talent and wizardry. I've heard your music emanating from the AM radio, the FM stereo, then LPs and CDs, and now the Internet. I've loaded the car with your recordings,and I've worked with your music ringing between my ears. Even been to a couple of your concerts around here, too.
Although we've never met you're been in my life.
You rock, man! Keep on keepin' on!
Burr
