Let's make this birthday one to remember.

Happy Birthday, Vic Briggs! From bringing down the house as the lead guitarist for The Animals to captivating audiences by exploring Indian and Hawaiian melodies, your musical journey has been one epic adventure—adding new strings (quite literally!) to your remarkable talent.

Whether it's electrifying fans with soulful solos from classic hits or immersing us in beautiful eastern rhythms and relaxing island vibes, you've proved that music truly knows no boundaries. May this birthday bring you plenty of laughter—even more than people trying unsuccessfully to mimic those impressive riffs—and remind us all how timelessly cool a career can be when powered by curiosity.
