Let's make this birthday one to remember.

87 years old (Born on December 30, 1937)

Happy Birthday, Noel Paul Stookey! Another year older and still blowin' in the wind—though perhaps now it's more of a gentle breeze. Your timeless melodies with Peter, Paul and Mary have inspired generations to sing along (and occasionally attempt harmonies they probably shouldn't). Thanks for reminding us that folk music never goes out of style—it just gets better seasoned.

From "Puff the Magic Dragon" to your soulful rendition of Dylan's classic "Blowin' in the Wind," you've given voice to peace, love, and social justice. May this birthday bring you as much joy as you've brought audiences worldwide—and fewer requests from friends asking if Puff ever found his magic dragon snacks!
