Happy Birthday to us
It’s the blog’s first birthday today, and the last blog day before Christmas, so I’d like to extend my thanks to everyone who has helped make the blog a success. (Er, that’s you lot: the readers and, more specifically, the writers.)
To celebrate, the chatroom will be open for most of the day (yes, it’s open now), so feel free to drop in for an imaginary tipple.
I hope you’ve enjoyed the highs, the lows and all that came in between – and hope you’ll join us for more of the same in 2007.
On behalf of everyone at davidgilmour.com, have a very Merry Christmas… and a Happy Birthday as well.
Congratulations!

Happy, Happy Birthday, DG Blog! (FEd, you must be pretty proud….)
Also, Merry Christmas, Happy Winter Solstice, Happy Holidays, Seasons Greetings, Happy Festivus…all those things to everyone!
Love,

As a fellow Capricorn I’m fully aware of the difficulties in having a birthday around this time of year, so it’s important to celebrate accordingly.
Happy 1st Birthday blog, may there be many more to follow.
May I take the opportunity of specifically thanking you FEd for all the hard work you’ve put in this year. Have a great Christmas & New Year, be safe and may all your wishes come true.
And of course, best wishes to all of my fellow bloggers. Bring on 2007.

A very happy 1st birthday to the blog. I have been viewing this site since January and emailing on the blog for 10 months and would feel a bit lost if it wasn’t there any more.
As I’m not sure if this is the last day for posting for awhile, I’d like to wish a Happy Christmas to David, Polly and family, and to you and yours, FEd, also to all the bloggers, especially to all the long-time faithfuls.
Dear Fed,
Thanks for this year with you… One year? Are you sure. Vous devez plaisanter? Pas déjà un an…
Ah, ben peut-être, au fond…
Merry Christmas to everyone!
Ikkar, with love

Happy birthday to the blog!
2006 has been a fantastic year for David’s fans and it wouldn’t have been the same without the blog and the community that has built up around it. I hope you all have a great Christmas and New Year and I look forward to meeting back here again in 2007.
Enjoy your break Fed, you deserve it!
Dear Fed,
Happy Birthday/Anniversary!!
A Brightly Blessed Holiday Season to you David and Polly and FEd and fellow bloggers.

Happy Birthday! And Merry Christmas! Woo, so much cool stuff, all at once! :-)

Happy 1st birthday to the blog!
What a great way to communicate, and isn’t it exactly like Stephen Hawkings said: “all we need to do is to make sure we keep talking”; and most of all: what would this blog be without the tireless efforts of our fabulous Fed, the Great Communicator! Hope the blog will continue as long as possible!
Have a nice weekend and Merry Christmas to you all out there!
Hey folks,
I would like to say Merry Christmas to all and to all congrats on making our blog such a success.
Special toast to you FeEd for being such a fair and gracious host\hostess the past year. It never would heve worked without you.
Cheers, Howard

Just a quick note to wish everyone the best at this Holiday season. No matter what occasion you celebrate or whether you simply view this as a chance to get together with friends and family, have fun.
This blog has been great fun and inspiration to me and I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all involved: participants, moderator and sponsor, well done.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!
I cant tell you how much I enjoy the company of each and everyone of you.
Friends…it’s the greatest thing in the world.

Sorry, FEd
‘Foot-in-mouth’ moment – “… and the last blog day before Christmas”. I just noticed it!! Blame it on Christmas and trying to do too many things at once.
Happy Christmas and Happy new year to all, David, the band, bloggers, and all the staff of this fantastic site!
It was a pleasure spend the 2006 with you and will be a pleasure listen to you again in 2007!
Buon Natale to you and your families! Ciao!

CAPTION (my last for 2006):
Archaeologist 1: Amazing! These scrolls…. they’re written in Aramaic.
Archaeologist 2: What do they say?
Archaeologist 1: This can’t be…
Archaeologist 2: What is it!?
Archaeologist 1: It reads…”The Word of Gilmour” *rolls open scroll further*
Archaeologist 2: My God…a gnostic text? *kneels in reverence* How does it begin…?
Archaeologist 1: *hand trembling* It reads…”And the all seeing ‘Eye of David’ looked down upon his creation, looked upon all its wonders, and saw that it was good…”
(gaze at each other when in walks…)
Archaeologist 3: Hey, the room next door is full of all these pointy sticks, scratched disks, post-it notes, and small blue flyers, plus one set of Groucho Marx glasses. What do you think they mean….
Happy Anniversary Everyone, and Happy Holidays!!!
Happy Birthday to the Blog. Can’t quite believe a full year has gone by …
And while I have been an uber-slacker poster of late (yes, all of fall term – ouch!), the blog and the website have been a constant must read fix.
Thank You to David & Polly, Band, Fed for this marvolous, wonderful year of music and community!
Merry Christmas to everyone!
Happy Birthday to the blog! May you have many more!
Previous to this year, I did not think that any website would be worth visiting on a daily basis and/or posting to. You guys have proven me wrong. Well done!
Keep up the good work!
Wow ! Angelo ! je vous tire ma révérence, vraiment !
Michèle
happy 1st birthday!!
I have been a silent but regular reader of this great place for the last few months. what an amazing year for david gilmour and floyd fans out there.
all the best to david, polly the rest of the crew and everyone in charge of this blog. FEd, thanks for a sense of great and sometime very dry humour.
keep up your terrific work!
happy holidays everyone!
cheers, b.
Wow! Happy 1st birthday! What progress you’ve made! Learning to crawl, then walk, now run… so much behind us… still far to go.
Thanks for everything. It’s been a great year. Who would have ever imagined? David could have put a cd out and left it at that. The amount of time and effort by Davit et al has been amazing. Thanks.
Tim
Happy Birthday DG Blog and Happy Holidays everyone…

Happy first birthday to the blog. Merry Christmas to the blog. And a happy new year to the blog.

Happy birthday, blog.
I first came here around January and have been posting regularly since then. It’s hard to believe that this blog has been with us for a year.
This blog is almost as good as the music, the DVDs, the concerts.
I used to read every posting to this blog, but there are simply too many now. It’s good that David’s fans have a place to congregate, and it is amazing to realize just how many fans there are. Still, there is a great feeling when a place is yours; you lose that feeling when the place becomes as populated as this blog has become.
Rudders, and Lucia, and Angelo Ortiz, and Ian Pearson, and Deborah, have each left their own unique mark on this place. Bless you for that.
There are many others whose names have become instantly recognizable, and countless more who contribute to the blog as well (even if they don’t have the name recognition). Everyone together makes this the special place that it is, making it a true democracy. Bless you all for what you do.
If you are reading these words, bless you for taking part in this wonderful community.
Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!
Doing a great job Fed, some of your replies make me howl with laughter.
“How to win friends and influence people” could be your first book.
Cheers
Paul
so…… Happy Birthday !
Happy Birthday to the blog and Merry Christmas to all, it’s been a great year on this site.
Wow one year already. Thanks to everyone including all the bloggers (I’m guilty though for not posting) for such an interesting year. Happy Birthday.
Happy Bithday to us
And
Merry Christmas for you Fed and and of course for David and his family and his musicians and friends.
I was nearly every day at this page and i will do that next year. Make on with this in the same way.
And i must say, the best moment in this year was for me and my wife the great gig in Hamburg in march. Hope to see this soon again.
All the best from Trier in Germany
Andreas

Andreas! Guten tag! Wow! Trier!!! I’ve been there! Reading your post sparked a brief memory in my mind from when I lived in Mannheim and visited Trier back in ’87! I LOVED Germany and hope to visit again someday (live in Southern California).

I just want to wish all my fellow bloggers a Merry Xmas and happy new year.
2006 has been a great year, due in no small part to the Gilmours, and it’s been great seeing the birth and growth of this wonderful global community, and travelling this road with you all.

Congratulations on the Blog’s first Birthday and a merry Christmas to all.
2006 has been one good year for people that enjoy real music. I just hope 2007 can come somewhere close! The RAH DVD will certainly be a fantastic start.
I’ll be doing just as Guy suggested (It never takes much of a reason for me at this time of the year, but this one’s worth while) in raising a glass containing a good quality Malt in honour of our FED and all the great events of 2006. Cheers!
Doing it now Guy..Cheers fed!…and here’s one for you Mr. Pratt!..all the best to you and yours during this festive time and forever after!
John
Raising my glass of cranberry juice in a toast to the Blog, FEd, Irregulars and Semi-Irregulars alike!
It’s been a very fun and special year. Lots of music, talk, the occasional argument, some sad moments, but always wonderful people to share in the experiences.
Thanks to David and Polly. And thanks to Guy for checking in with the lunatics when he can.
Now everyone (and I mean this in the best sense of the word) BLOW and make a wish!
Here’s wishing all man/woman-kind a very merry, happy, joyous ___________________ (fill in holiday of your choice) and a happy, healthy, peaceful new year!
Peace, love and understanding always!

Happy Birthday to the blog, and as Becky said “Happy Festivus”…to the rest of us.
[Can we all promise to raise a glass to our tireless and fearless fed over the festive season. -Guy]
ABSOLUTELY!!
Happy Holidays to the Gilmours, all the band, crew, everyone at dg.com and you all.

Happy Birthday to our beloved blog!
It’s been a great one for me – I’ve been getting all our David Gilmour info on a steady basis, been able to check out setlist, been able to buy tickets through the web and just lurking to see if Guy Pratt checked in… Thanks FED!
Merry X-mas to all of you!
/Nicholas
Can’t let this auspicious day pass without wishing the blog, and all those who sail in her, a very happy birthday.
A little peace on earth would go down well at this moment so here’s to just that – and a wonderful Christmas to all of us.
Thank you guys, you have improved my computer skills and made learning fun. I might get up the nerve to try the chatroom in 2007.
George
The next year in my country Argentina, me and friends gonna say that the world is going down, we gonna show our small candle, we want to light the dark side of human
we gonna start with grafittis, is a way (small) to start, better that to stay sit when all still happen
P.S. Happy belated birthday to both Becky and ayako! I’m late with everything. I haven’t even sent off last year’s holiday cards yet!
And what’s up with Geoff … baby yet?? Let us know. That goes for Simon as well!
Peace,

Happy Birthday to everyone associated with the best and all-time greatest blog. Time sure flys when you are having fun. Happy Holidays!
guy,
i’m raising a glass to our fed right now. best wishes for a pleasant and relaxing holiday season. you work way to hard. and you rock out really well. wink.
Hi Fed – just a short note to wish you Happy Anniversary -> Thanks for all you’ve done! This has been a great year for David Gilmour fans!
My Arnold Layne single & vinyl have been ordered -now awaiting the DVD release of RAH! (Still hoping for a Live CD as well)
Seasons Greetings, Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas to:
David & Polly, The Band, Fellow Bloggers and the Mighty FED
thanks,
joefromCanada
Happy 1st, everyone.
I’m just wondering, Polly, what are you giving David for Xmas. He would be difficult to buy for if you know what I mean. How about a trip to Brazil, all expenses payed for? OK, kick me now.
Thank You David, this means a lot to all of us. The Fed said we will carry on until January . Let’s hope we can squeak it into March.
True Story: By the way, my wife’s birthday is Mar. 8th, our new dog is March 7th, did I forget somebody else? Go figure!! So ironic indeed.
We are tripping the light fantastic somewhere in the Carribeans for her Xmas and birthday present in March. Don’t know where though, any thoughts people??
Undecided Frank Floyd.
Best wishes to all of you. The music and this community have been such a wonderful experience this year.
Thank you all,
TC
