Neal Schon got a surprise this week when he was sent a video containing happy birthday messages from some of his closest friends in the music world.

Schon’s wife Michaele, had a video put together with artists including Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott, Sammy Hagar, Zakk Wylde, Joe Satriani, Joe Bonamassa, Steve Vai, Gregg Rolie and Deen Castronovo, all wishing Neal a Happy Birthday.

He also received a Gibson Vintage 1954 Les Paul Gold Top guitar from Michaele.

Schon posted how excited he was to receive the gift on Twitter, saying he was “freaking the fu** out” and followed that with an Instagram video of him playing the guitar.

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
