Happy birthday, James Cotton! Another year of blowing minds—and harmonicas—proving once again your lungs defy time. Touring with legends like Janis Joplin probably gave you a lifetime's supply of hilarious backstage stories and timeless blues riffs to astonish us all. No doubt you're the only guy we know who can turn heartbreak into harmonica magic while smiling through every note.Your talent makes it clear: age is just another verse in your endless song, as iconic gigs keep on coming and the crowd won't let go without an encore. Keep rocking (and breathing) strong—we’re counting on at least fifty more birthdays before you drop that mic!
