Let's make this birthday one to remember.

68 years old (Born on September 29, 1956)

Happy Birthday, John! From marching with the Coldstream Guards as a clarinetist to dazzling audiences worldwide on your saxophone—your musical journey has been nothing short of legendary. Whether composing captivating scores or producing award-winning masterpieces, you've always hit just the right note (pun intended!).

Your students still marvel at how effortlessly you blend teaching wisdom and humor into every lesson; rumor has it even Mozart would have signed up for classes if he'd had half a chance. Here's wishing you another year filled with standing ovations, brilliant compositions—and perhaps fewer reed mishaps mid-performance!

Cheers to many more harmonious adventures ahead!
