Eddie’s Vancouver ~ 1958

Posted on February 3, 2012 | 15 Comments

.

I arrived on this planet — in the wild West — when Elvis was King, and hamburgers, beer and cigarettes were the source of inner happiness.
It’s been a long, uphill struggle, sometimes fun, and sometimes miserably hopeless. But when I look inside myself right now, I feel peace and gratitude.

It’s not over yet.
Luckily, I believe in happy endings.

Thank you for being here now, on my birthday.
Not to sound cliché,
But as an Aquarian,
I’m allowed to say
I actually love you all!

Best wishes,
Eddie

    Ed: Loved the video (and the C-FUN jingle)! Yes, I was born in Vancouver in 1950, so in 1958 I would have been eight years old — old enough to remember all the places, sights & sounds you’ve gathered together for the video. Great memories, great times! Thanks, man!

    Happy Birthday, brother!! Let many more divine memories (like the chicken legs from Mother’s prasad in Prague) fill your heart and being with endless JOY of paradise.

    Hi Ed,
    Happy Birthday! Love the video. I was born in Van. in 59, and raised there till I was almost 13. Then we moved to the beautiful Sunshine Hills. Love to hear from other Vancouverites. All the best!!
