Let's make this birthday one to remember.

77 years old (Born on November 23, 1947)

Happy Birthday, Jack Hardy! Another year older and still strumming strong—your guitar must be exhausted from keeping up with your endless creativity. Greenwich Village wouldn't have been the same without you penning hundreds of songs that made us laugh, cry, or simply tap our feet in admiration.

From folk festivals to late-night songwriting circles—you've inspired countless musicians while somehow managing never to run out of witty lyrics (or wine). Here's hoping this birthday brings as much joy as you've given through every melody and clever rhyme over the years. Keep singing loud; age is just another verse!
