Let's make this birthday one to remember.

82 years old (Born on October 27, 1942)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Philip Catherine! You've plucked strings alongside jazz giants like Chet Baker, struck chords with Robert Wyatt, and added your elegant touch beside Dexter Gordon; clearly, you've mastered both musical collaboration and choosing cool pals. Ever wonder if those guitars whisper backstage stories when you’re not looking?

Here's wishing a maestro who makes every note timeless another year full of awe-inspiring riffs, mesmerizing solos, and less sneaky tuning mid-concert! May future sessions bring more great moments worthy of applause—and fewer misplaced picks. Enjoy rocking out gracefully for years to come—because like fine jazz classics—you only get better!
