I wanted to put music to , but it's all licensed in the wrong direction! My first birthday toast, 58 years old and I've learned who my friends are and I've learned who my friends aren't, I've learned how much I can do and what kind of legacy I can create, and I've learned the ups and downs and pitfalls of social bureaucracy and bu****it. I've learned it all. I've seen it all, live life to the fullest, jumped off a cliff to be and artist 25 years ago in a garage and ended up helping with the face of downtown Napa, helped a lot of brands succeed. I have been loved, I've been banished, I've been hated, I've been held. I have seen everything, I've had friends who I thought we were friends that listen to other people whispering in their ear without talking to me, I have gone through 10 to 20 different clicks, I've raged in SF, I have shown Napa all of my love (Zepplin), my true adoration, my caring my desire to make Napa better place, I have done everything that I've ever wanted to do in this wonderful life of mine. I'm very thankful to all of you that came to my studios, enjoyed my parties, Enjoyed everything that I've done, shook my hand, held me in your arms, smiled with a gleaming twinkle in your eye, and beloved!!! All that truly matters to me is everybody's happiness. So my birthday wish, up upon this glass of tequila at the best watering hole in Napa, Palisades, is for everyone to be blessed, for everyone to get through the trials and tribulations that we're going through in our world right now in the strongest forms, in the best light, to look at yourselves in the mirror and say I am wonderful and I can do anything I choose to do. I have always been an adversary of human greatness in life, and I've never feared the unknown. I have jumped off cliffs and built my plane on the way down five times in biz here in this beautiful valley. I have met thousands of people, I get slack for not remembering everyone's name :-), however, I am always here for anyone anytime anyone needs anything anyway anyhow. Thank you All for every year that I've been part of this amazing society and the wonderful friendships I've had along the way. 58 years Never felt so good!
