To one of the best bass players on planet earth, and one of the greatest, most genuine people in the galaxy...

...have a very happy birthday! You're the best!

Sincirely,

Your student

P.S. We don't see enough of the Explorer bass these days. Roger was playing that Explorer that fateful summer night at Sebastian's in 1999, the very first time I saw the Features. Consequently, the Explorer is, for me, as much a part of the Features as Parrish Yaw or "Thursday." But I digress...

I always liked the Rick better, but that's me being loyal to certain brand names (I'm like that).

Anyway, Happy Birthday, Roger! Shave a good one!

Happy birthday! Eat you some cake!

P.S. Anyone else notice that it's also "prettypink" 's birthday today? A coincidence? I think not.

Thanks guys, but our birthdays are tomorrow! At least mine is, and Roger and I are convinced we have the same birthdays. Plus they celebrated his last year just after it turned midnight, Feb. 7th, 2003. And I just asked Rory who was on the phone about it and he confirmed it's the 7th. So thanks guys again! And please extend your wishes, at least to our great bassist, tomorrow! (unless I'm horribly mistaken)

What a birthday mishmash! Carl's always so premature...
Actually, I'm pretty sure Roger's is actually today. He shares it with a pal of mine. So, you get your OWN birthday to enjoy- even better!

Mr. Wrong=Roger and according to the profile, his birthday is today. I remembered from last year that he and Brian have the same birthday (down to the year).

And JC started this thread, not me. I'm never premature, baby! (And I thought we promised not to mention that in public, sis)

Maybe the confusion was that his birthday was celebrated at a show on February 6th last year, but maybe Parrish waited until after midnight.

I'm starting to think Roger didn't fill out his own profile as Mr. Wrong..

Bingo, at the Feb. 6 show, Matt said at the start of an encore, just after midnight, that it was now officially Roger's birthday, meaning it had become the 7th.

I trust Smee on this one, and I hope that Roger and myself haven't gone a year thinking we were born on the same day, same year, and within a few hours of each other. Being born a day apart just won't cut it. I doubt our friendship could survive that.

Mindylieu is conspicuous by her absence. Care to make an official statement?

Whenever these birthdays are, I hope they are happy.

I TOTALLY AGREE!

Keith, you are destined to rock. Never forget this.

It would now be FEBRUARY 7TH, sooo...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROGER!!!

I wanted to be the first to wish Roger a good day, but since it has been his birthday for several hours in the UK, I guess someone beat me to it.

As far as it saying Mr. Wrong's birthday is today, why don't you ask Ms. Carroll about that. Actually, I think Roger probably did that to mess with our heads.
Roger D. celebrates his birthday on the same day as BrianW. (happy birthday man!!! Roger always talks about you two sharing a birthday!)

(you guys scared me for a minute and actually made me doubt everything I know to be true!)

Happy birthday to the most hoe lovin-est, smack doin-est bassist I've ever met. I hope that you get to have your "cake" and "eat" it too. All kidding aside, I hope that the guy from the Beach Boys and Roger have a great day.

hello to all !!!!!
we played our last show last night in leichester, i think that's how it's spelled, the crowd responce was very suprising. there were some people there that actually requested 33 1/3 which shooked us all. i've also been keeping a journal of the trip and hope to have it put on the site when we return.( Brian W. we need to talk about that) i think the trip over all has went really well! everyone in each town has been very nice to us.

THANK YOU ALL FOR THE B-DAY WISHES!
yes it is true, brian and myself share the same b-day and it is on feb.7. it was last year at the show that matt said that, but after midnight which made it the 7th. once again thank you all, and happy b-day brian!!!!!!
oh... lauren thank for the e-mail and tell robert happy b-day for me.
i'd write more but i'm at a netcafe and running out of time
with love,
