Happy Birthday Al Marcus

Post by Zeke Cory »

Tomorrow, Wednesday, December 10 is Al Marcus's birthday. I have gained alot from the experiences and knowledge he has been gracious enough to pass along to us. Happy Birthday my friend. I hope life and the holiday season is as kind to you as you are to others. I guess 87, correct? Of course I did fail math, lol. Many more happy ones to you as well. Happy Holidays. Zeke

Happy birthday my friend and many more to come in good health. Al you're a treasure to this forum and the pedal steel guitar family in general. If there ever was a legend in his own time, you're it in my opinion. You've been so helpful to any and all who ask it's a shame we can't pay you back for all your experience. If they ever write a book that encompasses all the PSG history, your picture will be on the cover. Thanks a million. We all cherish your lifestyle.

Happy Birthday Al! I didn't remember that it was the same days that Roy's was. You have a couple of years though. He is just 79 today. He is trying to catch up with you. May your birthday be filled with joy, love and happiness! God's Blessings, Laurie

Happy Birthday, Al, and many more to come. I miss seeing your smiling face at the Michigan shows (but I don't have to brush the snow off my van before I can drive home from a gig). You are truly an inspiration to us all.
