Let's make this birthday one to remember.

90 years old (Born on March 01, 1935)

Happy Birthday, Dolan Ellis! Arizona's official balladeer since 1966—wow, that's longer than most saguaros have been standing. With over 300 songs celebrating the Southwest’s beauty and quirks, you've serenaded more sunsets than a coyote choir.

Your melodies capture everything from desert dust storms to cowboy campfires; your guitar strings probably know Route 66 better than Google Maps does. Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy as that time folks finally learned all the words to "Arizona I Love You." Keep strumming those timeless tunes—we're still humming along (and occasionally forgetting lyrics) after all these years!
