Back to John's History Page

Thanks so much to everyone who took the time to sign John's Birthday Book for 2002. Your wishes and greetings mean a lot!

Happy Birthday, John. We will be seeing you on Wednesday in Redwood City. My friend Kathy is your biggest fan. She is completely obsessed with you and talks about nothing else. She even has your face tatooed on her chest. She wants to show you after the show in Redwood City. GO NINERS!!!

Hi there, John! I recently found out that you are now touring with the Beach Boys! I was one of your biggest, 'devoted' fans in the 70's and, well, let's just say it was like finding an old friend again when I heard you were back and with the Beach Boys! If that wasn't the best news, I then found out that the Beach Boys will be appearing in my area in a couple of days! (Redwood City). I am so looking forward to this concert! Anyway, just had to say hello to an old friend! Let's do lunch sometime! (LOL!) Hugs, "just me"

Dear John, I wanna thank you for signing my beach boys hat when I ran into you wile you were heading to the stage in Ashland, Ky on July 5th 2002. I just got back from a flea market and bought a record that you would recognize. It's called "Cowsills On My Side" It sounds Great. I just wish I had it when I had you sign my hat. Well I gotta run Take care. and Good luck with The Beach Boys Band

Happy Belated Birthday John!! We met about 20 years ago when I was 16 and you were 26 and playing with Mike Love and one of the guys from Jan and Dean at the Santa Clara County Fair in San Jose. Not only did I have a wonderful time getting to see every show but I was lucky enough to get to spend some time hanging around with you and the other guys for awhile. It was GREAT!! And one of my fondest memories! And makes me with sometimes I could go back in time and do it all over again! I even still have the signed drum stick you gave me and all the other autographs I got. It was great to hear you are still performing and hopefully one day I'll have the opportunity to see you at one of our shows!! Take care and keep smiling!, Rita

Hi John, I am exactly one day older than you. I was born 1 March 1956. I remember when the Cowsills first came out and I thought that was so neat we were born a day apart. Jay Osmond has your same birthday only he is a year older.Hope you are well.

Hey, John, if Adrian can sing "Sherry" at the Beach Boys' shows, think of how great "Hair" would sound? Maybe you can surprise us at the Westbury Music Fair shows and sing it!

Wholly cow! Just came from the Beach Boys concert in Kettering Ohio ... what a great asset you are to the group and to their performance ... been a fan since "Rain, the Park, and Other Things" and "Indian Lake" were hits ... great to see you again ... you look fantastic and are as charming as ever ... much continued success!

just came from ashland, ky beach boys band concert! you were awesome! great show! great smile!

John, I must say I've never heard of you until this past May. My loss. I took my fiance to see the Beach Boys May 27th while you were in Biloxi MS. Awesome show! You are an awesome performer and when The Beach Boys hit Dallas in September, I hope you'll be with them. You should drum permanently for them!

I attented the Beach Boys concert in Charlotte , NC on April 7th and it was wonderful...When John sang Help Me Rhonda..I went wild!!!!!!!!! Just wish i could have gotten on stage..I have always said that this song was written JUST FOR ME!!! Again concent was wonderful....Thanks..Rhonda

It's odd, but after all these years, I still remember John on his birthday. The oldest "loves" last a long time, I guess. And it figures. While I was a fan, I lived in So. California. Now you're there and I'm in San Francisco. Just as well. I'd hated to have started hanging around construction sites! :-)

How could I have missed signing this book,,,,,,,, Hope all is well! Me

Happy Birthday John. Sorry I missed it on the day but I was busy I won a Show N Tell Phono Viewer from eBay. I am so happy now it has been 20 some years I have been looking for one.

Happy Birthday, John...from your "bosom buddy" from the lobby of the Viking Hotel in 1971. You may have forgotten that you called me that, but I didn't! I hope all is well with you these days...especially today, your birthday, which I'll never forget. Hope you have a nice day! Love, Sandra

Happy birthday,John! Would you believe that back in the '60's & '70's I was so shy that I never even wrote a fan letter to The Cowsills, PERIOD! Yet after all these years I STILL remember your birthday. So happy birthday, not only for today but for all those years that I thought it and never did say it. Have a SUPER GREAT DAY, you handsome thing! JoAnne

Happy Birthday John! Here's a laugh for you-yrs ago when you guys were singing in Stony Brook, NY I made a cake for your Mom-it was around her birthday. I put these small plastic cows on top-it was raining-boy, was that a joke-I always thought you guys probably just threw the cake out. That was the day that your bro. Barry took my hand and kissed it-Man-was I in heaven...Anyway-have a great day!

So heres to U on your special day, the best always for you & when I drink my Merlot on March 2, I'll be thinking of U! Have a Happy!!:o)Lots of Love to U from me!!

Dear John, Happy Birthday! It was wonderful to be a young girl growing up listening to the Cowsills with you as my favorite...but it's even more wonderful to learn, years later, that you have a warm and generous spirit and that you're a genuinely good person. Here's hoping you have a great year ahead. Hugs, Love, Brina

Happy birthday John! I was in your fan club in the 60's and my birthday is 3/15/56/ It's funny how things stick in your mind because as each one of my birthdays approach each year, I remember your birthday as well!! Have a good one!!! Heidi Freedman

Hi John! Happy Birthday. Like a lot of other people, I have been a fan of your since the 60's. I have all of your albums and cd's and still listen to them all the time. I have my children listening also. My favorite birthday party was seeing you in concert at Eastern Illinois University in 1969. I had my best friend go with me and we loved it. I still have the poster you signed for me. Keep performing and I hope to see you in concert again. Happy Birthday! Anne

Has it been 30 years?? My best friend Melany and I were determined to move to Santa Monica and marry you and Barry and live together forever. What a great childhood fantasy you gave us. Thanks for the memories. Have the best birthdy ever!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi John! When I about seven or eight, I had the biggest crush on you. I remember I was down at the park sitting on a swing and my siser asked me if I could meet anyone in the world, who would it be- I said John Cowsill. What a magical time that was & you were part of that magic for me. Happy birthday John.

Happy Birthday John I was a fan in the late 60's Geeze how time flies. Here it is over 30 years later and I find myself thinking of my younger years and my teenage love for John Cowsill. I always wonderd what happend to the Cowsills and for the heck of it I searched the web and found out. You guys have been there all along and Rocked and Rolled away the last 30 years !!! How great is that !?! I just ordered the Global CD and am looking forward to hearing it and will be on the lookout for when the Touring Beach Boys come to Cleveland. I have always been a fan of the original Beach Boys and smiled when I read John was a member of the new band. Keep on Rocking Cowsills, I will always have a space for you all in my heart. Happy Birthday John !!! Dee Dee

John, Hope you have a great B-Day. We don't see you around town much anymore. Hope all is well!! Take care and keep in touch.
