HAPPY BIRTHDAY, VAN!



(he can't possibly be 60, can he?)(scary how old these guys are getting. I, on the other hand, haven't age much at all)

Taste is so personal but why not start the discussion:

My favorite Album: Wavelength

Why?: Kingdom Hall - An introspective look at his mother's faith an his childhood combinedd into one great up tempo song.

Van is definitely one of the best rock & rollers ever!

I love his new CD - Magic Time

Hard to pick my favorite albums, but one from each era are:

Astral Weeks

St. Dominics Preview

Beautiful Vision

Hymns to the Silence

Too Long in Exile
