Happy birthday, John! May your special day be filled with more microtones than anyone can count and enough pocket operas to outrun Verdi. We're proud of you for turning knobs before it was cool—your vintage synthesizers continue to inspire generations seeking that elusive pitch between C and C-sharp!Your groundbreaking creativity in developing the mighty 'pocket opera' still astonishes music lovers everywhere. Cheers today, maestro Eaton; thanks for decades of pushing harmony into intriguing new dimensions—and making sure our ears are never bored! Here’s wishing a year ahead as innovative (and slightly eccentric) as you've always been.
