    Happy Birthday Jon!

    He's just two weeks younger than my mom. I actually went with my mom to see him last year and she enjoyed the show(as did I).

    I will always love Jon. Listening to the new Anderson Ponty Band brings a smile to this old fan, as Sean said, he seems to have a renewed energy in his voice and spirit. It's ironic that Jon has survived his near death experience with his respiratory issues, and that Chris Squire sadly went so very quickly. Such is life. And again Sean is correct is saying that Jon is the spiritual avatar of prog. YES would have never been the same without him. But today is Jon's day, so we must all celebrate the man...Happy Birthday old friend!
    Day dawns dark...it now numbers infinity.

    I was listening to "Open" just a bit ago. Nice piece, especially the closing section. He still has a little mojo! Happy 71st to the ol' Cosmic Shaman!
    Hired on to work for Mr. Bill Cox, a-fixin' lawn mowers and what-not, since 1964.

    My brother refers to him as "the Cosmic elf."

    He's definitely a "veteran cosmic rocker" that's for sure. Yeah, I know, wrong band.

    "Open" is by far and away the best thing he's done in recent times. I still listen to it regularly, in fact I'm going to put it on now.
