Let's make this birthday one to remember.

86 years old (Born on August 24, 1938)

Happy Birthday, Mason! Another year strumming by and you're still firing on all strings—you truly put the 'Gas' into Classical Gas. From melodically mesmerizing us to tickling our funny bones with your legendary wit for shows like Saturday Night Live, you've certainly mastered combining artistry and humor.

As you celebrate another trip around the sun (hopefully accompanied by guitars instead of candles), remember this: while age is just a number, timeless classics are forever. Keep dazzling audiences, keep riding that comedic wave—after all these years, you're proof that laughter and melody never go out of style. Cheers!
