Let's make this birthday one to remember.

69 years old (Born on March 04, 1956)

Happy Birthday, Kermit Driscoll! You've grooved your way through more than fifty Broadway orchestras—talk about hitting all the right notes! Your bass lines have underscored countless dramatic moments on stage and screen, making even villains seem charming. Rumor has it that some TV shows owe their ratings boost entirely to your catchy rhythms.

Here's wishing you another year filled with standing ovations and fewer requests for "just one more take." May your strings stay tuned, may directors always appreciate your genius—and may no one ever mistake you for a certain green frog again. Keep rocking those soundtracks!
