Happy Birthday Tony!!! I hope you have a really great one and many more.

Carla contacted me a while back and wanted to get together to record a song which we could post here on your birthday. She picked "I Only Have Eyes for You". She's a sweety, not to mention a very wonderful singer.

Anyway, I did an arrangement and she came over to The Laboratory and we recorded it. Of course, I fired up the gongs. These days, I just can't get away from those darned things.

So, consider yourself "gonged" on your 50th!!

Happy Big Five-O, Tony.

Verse 1
Happy Birthday Tony, it's the big Five-O.
Hoped that we'd forget you? Oh, no no no!
All - of us we sure like you a lot,
There's - no way that we'd have forgot-
ten your Birth-day, it's the big Five-O

Verse 2
Happy Birthday Tony, it's the big Five-O.
Colon check is in - store,
So there's fifty - more.
Take some time and then enjoy and relax,
Take your vibes out and then play with a sax,
On your birthday, it's the big Five-O.

Verse 3
Happy Birthday Tony, it's the big Five-O.

Dear Tony,

Thanks for being a great friend, and for all the inspiration you've given me and others.

Happy Birthday, Brother!!!
