Let's make this birthday one to remember.

85 years old (Born on April 12, 1939)

Happy Birthday, Peter Giger! Another year of rhythm and groove—clearly your secret to eternal youth is hidden somewhere between the cymbals. Ever since you founded Family of Percussion back in 1977, you've been drumming up joy (literally!) for jazz lovers worldwide. Your beats have aged like fine Swiss cheese: sharp, delightful, and always memorable.

From legendary performances that had audiences tapping their feet uncontrollably to recent successes showcasing your timeless talent—you've proven percussionists don't retire; they just keep better time. May this birthday bring as much excitement as a spontaneous drum solo—and may life continue keeping perfect tempo with you!
