Let's make this birthday one to remember.

71 years old (Born on December 31, 1953)

Happy Birthday, Michael! May your day be filled with more joy than the first time someone heard "Aerial Boundaries" and wondered if you secretly had extra fingers. Your guitar wizardry continues to amaze us all—rumor has it even guitars whisper your name in awe.

From the groundbreaking melodies of "Breakfast in the Field" to redefining acoustic possibilities, you've inspired countless musicians (and confused many air-guitarists). Here's wishing you another year of boundary-breaking creativity and endless tuning stability. Keep dazzling us—you've already set a high bar for musical magic!

Cheers to another harmonious trip around the sun!
