Happy 30th Birthday to our fearless founder, David Zahl. Without his (and Cate’s) initial vision, commitment, sacrifice and a (seemingly inexhaustible) passion for all things Beach Boys, we would be up the Mockingcreek without a Mockingpaddle. On top of that, thanks to him, we’re all just a little bit cooler.
And no, he doesn’t look a day over 29:)
Happy Birthday Dave.
amen and amen
Happy birthday Dave, welcome to the machine! , er, I mean, welcome to your 30’s…
Oh, happy 30 Dave!
I have nothing good to say about “30”, but Dave Zahl, he’s awesome!
Dave looks so soulful in the picture. Just makes me want to sit at his feet and listen to him expound.
Happy Birthday Dave!
Yeah, Dave’s da bomb. Thanks for being you, pal.
And the picture, omigod, the picture. Looks like Pete Best in Liverpool, or Bono just before, or Joe Meek towards the end, or Falco before glasnost, or… omigod, the picture.
I am so proud.
Or Spector, in Karl-Marx-Stadt.
Cate took this picture while in Berlin. Dave is actually standing exactly on the place where the Berlin Wall used to stand and the church–which looks like the shed with the slats in the background–is called, appropriately, Die Kirche der Versöhnung–Church of the Reconciliation.
love you man
Dave’s birthday is a high holiday.
Hooray for David’s birthday, that is wonderful news!
Happy Birthday, Dave. It is not polite to ask, but I am assuming you are 30?
Welcome…not that I know anything about it, but Matt is is 36, so I hear things….
Happy 30 day dude! I’m right behind you. Just glad you beat me. I feel so young right now.
Happy Birthday, Dave… I agree with JD… you don’t look a day over 29!
Happy birthday Hitler, I mean Dave!
By the way, Dave is THE BEST!
We’ve had some pretty awesome experiences together, and only a few are fit for retelling. Hey I’ve turned out alright, and you’re not to bad yourself. Dave, you da man.

Happy Birthday Dave (one hour late)!!! I heard 30 is the new 20.
Thanks so much everyone! I feel loved.
(belated… on this forum, but hey)
Indeed, Amen. Congrats to you, Dave, as you celebrate another year of life and excitement and adventures. May you always revel in the glorious miracle of life as you live it 🙂
Thanks for all you’ve done and for sharing in faith and life with us. Blessings!
Wasn’t “I feel love” (or “loved”) a song by The Bronski Beat?
donna summer. It came out in June 1977.
Nuh, no.
I feel sure it was by “Barabbas”
What a great title for the post, too.
