Let's make this birthday one to remember.

74 years old (Born on January 22, 1951)

Happy Birthday, Ben Mink! You're the musical wizard who effortlessly juggles instruments like most of us juggle TV remotes. From your legendary collaborations with Rush—where you fiddled your way into rock history—to harmonizing alongside Prairie Oyster and Sylvia Tyson, you've proven that genre boundaries are merely suggestions.

Here's to another year of hitting all the right notes and making strings sing louder than ever. May your birthday be filled with laughter, joy, and fewer requests from friends asking if you can "just quickly record something." Keep rocking (and fiddling) on—you truly put the 'multi' in multi-instrumentalist!
