Let's make this birthday one to remember.

66 years old (Born on July 10, 1958)

Happy birthday, Béla Fleck! May your day be filled with more plucks than a chicken coop and enough banjo solos to make even the most stoic listener tap their toes. From pioneering new sounds with New Grass Revival to dazzling audiences worldwide as frontman of Béla Fleck and the Flecktones, you've proven that innovation can indeed come from five strings.

Your recent adventures continue inspiring us all—whether collaborating across genres or pushing musical boundaries further into uncharted territory. Here's hoping this year brings you endless creativity, joyful jams, and perhaps fewer jokes about dueling banjos (though we can't promise anything). Keep pickin' strong!
