Let's make this birthday one to remember.

77 years old (Born on July 19, 1948)

Happy birthday to Keith Godchaux, the man whose keyboard grooves added that unmistakable sparkle and swing throughout some of Grateful Dead's most unforgettable journeys. From "Europe ’72" jams to soulful shows from Winterland, your fingers danced across keys with ease—bringing moments timeless enough they'd make Jerry himself crack a smile.

Let's face it: without those legendary improvisational nights in the 1970s, thousands would still be wandering around parking lots looking for miracles! Cheers today to you—we're forever grateful (Dead) for all those rhythmic rides through cosmic bliss on ivory keys. May every jam session beyond be as groovy as ever!
