    Dearest David,

    Wishing you all the happiness and many more years of sweet music.

    You have touched my heart in so many ways… your voice and guitar have a magic like no other.

    May God bless you with many years of health so you can spread the love the same way.

    Love

    Happy Birthday!

    Thanks for all the great music that you bring to us all!

    Best wishes directly from Portugal! :v

    Love,

    Happy birthday David!

    I’m glad you are happy after 40+ years of music and we can agree, all these years, you never gave us a any glimpse of bad music, but sheer pleasure from everything you did. Something BB King said, in a different way, but I’d change it for now:

    May your art live forever, but may you live forever and a day.

    A very happy birthday to you Mr Gilmour!

    As a major part of the music on which my parents brought me up, your influence on my life has been immeasurable :) and I hope that your musical contribution both to existing appreciators of your work, and generations yet to be born, continues to flourish!

    Mind you, from one David to another, I reckon you deserve a nice long rest first – especially today!

    Best Wishes,
    GothmogDave

    Happy Birthday Mr. Gilmour.

    You are one that can look back on your life and see the amount of influence your music has had on all of us. You continue to be an inspiration to all of us who play and write music. Hope you don’t feel that you are too old to tour because I would be the first in line for tickets to hear you perform.

    Again, Happy Birthday.

    Another year older, hopefully another year wiser as well. Where does the time go? It’s true that “every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time…” Lyrically speaking that is my favorite PF song.

    So a Happy Birthday to David and a Happy Day to everyone else.

    Thanks.

    One wonders how a marvellous human being such as David celebrates his birthday — surrounded by family I’m sure. I can picture his youngsters gathered round a homemade birthday cake set aflame with candles, his big wish made and the pouff as he blows out the candles with his kids, and the laughing and clapping of those around. Perhaps a nice glass of wine or two, a delicious dinner, a long walk in good company; the simple pleasures. Counting his blessings as his song says.

    Longing to hear him play I must do the next best thing and that means tonight I’m attending a cover PF concert at the local music hall. All the while, I will pretend that it’s David up there and will raise a glass to him on this his birthday, wishing him good health, happiness and an urge to perform more of that heavenly music in the not too distant future.
