I have always wondered if Taylor were choosing a few milestones each year for a Timeline, what would they be?
I’m not going to speculate.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TAYLOR, FROM THE TAYLOR HICKS COMMUNITY!!!
We wish you many more “kick ass” years like this one!!!
A wonderful birthday video was created in 2008 by KarinP, a great fan from Canada:

Thank you, KarinP for Trip Around the Sun and Mouser for The Timeline 2009-2010!

Thank you for the sharing all the magnificent doings in Taylor Hicks' 33rd year.
I had as much fun reading the review as I did witnessing the actual events over the past year.
Thanks for all the rememberances.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TAYLOR!
I wish you a birthday filled with life's greatest joys... love, laughter, family and friends.
May every moment be magical and may the year ahead bring you health, happiness and a place of your own to call "HOME".
Another busy and successful year! Thank you for this summary of the year's events.
I loved everything that was posted here in celebration of Taylor's '34'th birthday. Its difficult to think of all he has accomplished thus far, & to think its still only the beginning. May everyone who is attending Epcot ~ Have a wonderful time.♥
In celebration, I'd like to add my feeble attempt at posting a birthday cake for our guy. I know we all feel the same: http://www.birthday-cards.com/birthdaycake/index.php?CardID=1DE88584BE3FFBCB251DC61DC33C30BB
