As per usual I am terrible at remembering important dates and so I did not prepare anything for Van the Man’s 75th birthday. Obviously, I’m a big fan of his music and continue to share his live shows every Friday.

Please accept the thanks of my self, and all of our music loving friends,
A most generous act – thank you
now THAT’S a response !!! totally overwhelming and requiring a new drive…I’ll hire a crew to put it all on disc…when you have time , please tell me which ones are from the Great American Music Hall and/or Lion’s Share (I’m looking for 1971 Lion’s Share which is on youtube, and that will suffice but it’s all one track for 2 hours)…a guy posted some audience tapes of GAMH 80’s….I just searched youtube: “Van Morrison, Great American Music Hall” and I’m looking at 10 postings that do not appear on your latest full posting….the guy who posts his ticket voucher, screen-name Pickanick, has many GAMH audience tapes and Van Morrison 1986 07 25 Greek Theater Berkeley, Ca. {FULL SHOW} with string section….perhaps he will allow someone like yourself to SoundForge the tapes (they could use it)….I just this year accidentally discovered SoundForge and it can be useful…Thank You for everything you do….I have much more to write about to you but it would be indigestible if all at once….please know that you are a one-man cultural enrichment program which is far more effective than Smithsonian Folkways and the abysmally hyper-political tax-sucking National Endowment for Arts, NPR, PBS and all associated dogshit…

I can’t even begin to express enough thanks for this Mat. This fills my soul with so much joy! I had a ‘kid on christmas morning’ feeling when I noticed you put all these links up. Huge thanks to you with much gratitude. You’re earning cosmic credit no doubt.
If we put these musical musical vibes into the world every day, imagine what we could be. This is a spiritual treasure trove.
Thank you for sharing these great shows. It’s very appreciated.
Thanks Mat, and more. (speechless) MZ
Many thanks for this special birthdaygreeting. I love your work and Van too.
Thanks as always. Great job!!
