Happy Birthday
The blog calendar rather than my increasingly blurred memory informs me that many a blogger celebrates a birthday this month, so I’d like to express a joyful “Happy Birthday!” to Stephen for today, to Susan and Thomas for tomorrow and to everyone else who will be observing the anniversary of their birth thereafter; including David, it goes without saying, whose birthday is on Saturday.
As I know that you’d like to do the same, because some of you have already started, I’ll let you get on with it.
My thanks, on David’s behalf, for the well-wishes.
If you’d like to continue discussing the illustrious John Peel and the great many Peel Sessions of note, you are very welcome to do so (but here, not here, please).
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Love you.
Congratulations, a great admirer of his Brazilian magic work, from all decades.
See you in our country even if they come to play.
Happy Birthday, Gilmour!!
And thanks for everything, his music made a part of my life, SHINE ON!
Happy Birthday David!
Thank you so very much for sharing your talents with the world. Your music touches hearts and lives and not a day goes by where it does not touch mine. Thank you and may your day and the coming year be full of happiness, health and blessings beyond measure.

Parabéns, muitas felicidades e, principalmente, muitos anos de vida.
Eu sei que dificilmente você irá ler isto (espero que o Fed leia… e lhe passe o recado, hehe) mas gostaria de reforçar o convite do meu conterrâneo brasileiro e dizer que Curitiba está te esperando também.
Um Abraço.
Happy birthday David Gilmour! Poland loves you.
Happy birthday to you, my musical inspiration and mentor.
I guess that no one in this little world is a bigger slave to your divine tones than I. 20 years of admiration for everything you do and play… my son, whose birthday is here on Monday, says hello to you too… he’s only turning 5 years this time and of course is named by you. And he’s proud like his old man here to be living a life here with your music.
I could probably write a million pages for you, but you don´t even read it anyway, I guess.
Thank you, Dave. Best wishes to you… hope to hear from you again soon.
Happy Birthday to David Gilmour.
Day long Pink Floyd and solo tribute from me to David. So far have played Mihalis, Julia Dream, Corporal Clegg (though he detests that song), Wot’s… Uh the Deal (Obscured by Clouds version), Fearless, Green Is the Colour. Now Fat Old Sun then his musical contributions to Dark Side, Echoes, all of Wish You Were Here, good chunk of post-Roger Floyd and songs from David’s four solo albums.
Your fans from Moura (Portugal), wish you a happy birthday. We are waiting for your concert in Portugal… we love your music.
Rui Garrido and family.
FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS DAVID!!!!

This is slightly off-topic, but after rereading the excellent Mojo article on Syd this weekend, and reading the little box that has the interview with David, I wanted to make a comment.
In the interview David notes that a lot of fans might think it “Sacreledge” for him to tinker with the material he recorded with Syd. When I read that I worried about something–Mr. Gilmour probably not only has completed works by Syd, but half finished things like, “She Was a Millionaire.” I hope he’s not worried that we, the fans, would think it’s unthinkable to finish an unfinished lyric.
For me–a super hard core fan–that’s not an issue. I loved what Paul and George did with John’s “Free as a Bird.” I almost wept when I first heard it. In the same way I hope that David finishes song fragments he has from Syd, and I hope he adds his voice. If David doesn’t finish the lyrics himself, and lets Polly do it, or David Bowie or McCartney or even Joe the plumber, that doesn’t bother me either. Because David has the moral right. As long as he thinks the lyrics work, I’m OK with it.
David was Syd’s friend. He helped Syd record and finish his solo albums, they had the same musical sensibilities, and he’s kept the royalty money flowing in Syd’s direction all these years. David has the absolute moral right to finish off any song he wants ANY way he wants. Even with Polly or Bowie or anyone.
Anyway, I hope he does.
P.S. The Smile remix is really, really magical. David should release a double album of remixes of a bunch of his songs. The originals are great, but so are the remixes. New continents of sound.
Hi David,
even if a bit late, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!
All I can say is a big thank you for all the emotions and magic you are giving us with your music. Hope to see you soon on another tour to Italy/Venice.

Happy Birthday to David and Best Wishes for a serene and fruitful future.
We’ll be certainly watching.
Happy Birthday David!!! Sorry for the belated wishes, but I wish you a healthy and happy year AND many more!
Thank you for everything that you have done for us… both musically and for letting us use your website to enjoy each other’s company.
All the best from Connecticut!
Dear David,
I’d like to wish you a big happy birthday. You are my greatest influence…
I was lucky enough to play at The National in Richmond, VA on March 6, and I took my trusty Gilmour Signature Strat…. I guess it’s just coincidence its your birthday also. That guitar is the greatest guitar I’ve ever played…
It’s a extremely versatile guitar, we played blues, country, rock, everything on it, and it sounded phenomenal.
Thanks,
Tyler Foxwell
Auguri zio David!!!!!
Late, as usual. I hope it was a day to remember!
I’m sorry it’s late… HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID!
Happy belated Birthday David! You’re an inspiration always (besides Scorpions) for me!!
All the best, Health and long life!!
Cheers from Manaus-Brazil

Hello everybody from Colombia, Medellín City… What a great website.
I would wish to see Dr. Gilmour sometime in my life… I like his music so much… David Gilmour has fans here in this country… I love his guitar´s sound… Oh God, help me to see David Gilmour in concert or personally, please…
Saludos, adios, see you later!!!!!!

Happy birthday!
Please Dave, come to Concepcion, Chile, for a benefit concert for the victims of an earthquake, February 27.
Thanks!
I must to say you’re a very interesting musician. First I’d heard Pink Floyd when I was 5 years old. It was in 1979. I very like your music because it inspired me to make music. I play on guitars very nice. You know I like to play many guitar solos from Pink Floyd’s repertoire. Especially I like such songs as: Wish You Were Here, Green Is the Colour, Fat Old Sun, Narrow Way, Wot’s Uh… The Deal, Cymbaline, Childhood’s End, Shine on…, Comfortably Numb and so on. And also I like your solo works. I listen to interesting music: The Beatles, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix and so on. I like to perform the Blues.
I don’t know what I do in Ukraine. Here nothing gets. It’s not such a country as yours. I like the English culture. I’d like to play with you on the stage. It would be so nice! You know how I’d like to see you. Your music has large Meaning in my life. I dream about it for a long time.
I’d be pleased to speak with you! Thank you for the wonderful music!
Best Wishes!!! Stanislav.
Answer me, please.
Happy birthday David.
I know your birthday has passed but I hope you had a good time celebrating it.
Thank you so much for all the music you have shared with us. You are a blessing to the world. Wish you nothing but happiness to you and your family for your next birthday.
