Let's make this birthday one to remember.

68 years old (Born on May 11, 1956)

Happy Birthday, Mike LeDonne! Here's to the man who swings harder on that Hammond B3 than anyone we know—you're so groovy, even your keys dance. Whether it's post-bop or hard-bop, your soulful harmony lights up jazz clubs brighter than a neon marquee.

Congratulations on another splendid year filled with stellar gigs and unforgettable sessions. Your recent performances continue to remind us why you're the reigning King of the B3 playground. Keep spreading those funky vibes—after all, no one else can rock an organ quite like you do. May your birthday be as timelessly cool as your solos!
