The Birthday Book was sent to the JCILF headquarters on December 6th. We received over 250 Birthday messages for Jose. They were printed out and presented in a book accompanied by a floppy disk version. There was a dedication on the first page from the JCarreas.com Web Team which said....

"Canta canta O mio cor! Canta il delirio, le visioni belle, i sogni d'or"
                                       - Leoncavallo

These birthday wishes have been sent to you from the visitors to our web site. They are from people who have discovered beautiful visions and golden dreams through your singing, people that you have touched not only with your wonderful voice but also with your personal courage.

There are messages from over 40 countries. Some are long, others brief. Some are formal, others quite informal. Most are in English, but there are messages in other languages too - from Finnish to Tagalog.

What unites them is that they all wish you, as do we, great happiness on your 53rd birthday and in all the years to come.
