Let's make this birthday one to remember.

76 years old (Born on July 23, 1948)

Happy Birthday, John Hall! From rocking the halls of Congress to jamming with Orleans, you've always known how to hit just the right note—whether it's on Capitol Hill or center stage. Your political career was impressive enough, but let's face it: anyone who can debate policy by day and belt out hits by night deserves extra applause.

And speaking of applause, your French horn skills remain legendary. Who knew brass instruments could be so politically persuasive? Here's wishing you another year filled with harmony in politics and music alike—because clearly you're a master at both. Keep making democracy (and melodies) sound great!
