    Well, given all the climbing he did in his younger years, that's mostly luck, too!

This is one girl that feels so lucky to grow up in a time of your existence! You have made me SO happy and have filled my soul with joy! Your music and lyrics rock my world! Love ya, man! xoxo

    You don't think the mods at least emails the band members links of these threads so that they can look at them if they want to? I tends to believe they do because of the song requests they could have only gotten from these boards. At least that's what I am going to naively believe!

    Not naive that's how it happens. If there's something they think the guys should or would want to see, whether on these forums or via fan mail, they make sure that person, or the group as a whole gets that letter/ message. ( if I remember right this was a band request that came up once they realized they couldn't themselves keep up with trying to read the fan mail). None the less they know about these sorts of things, :-)

    It's time for Ed to join AARP :)
  • Such a great list, Theia! #29 made me laugh.

    Happy birthday to the birthday boy! I celebrated by making deep dish pizza and made half of it Hawaiian - without the ham. ;)
