Let's make this birthday one to remember.

85 years old (Born on March 01, 1940)

Happy Birthday, Ralph! You're the only musician we know who can juggle a twelve-string guitar, piano keys, and trumpet valves without missing a beat—or dropping an instrument. Your timeless melodies have made jazz fans swoon for decades; rumor has it even your guitars brag about being played by you.

From Oregon's groundbreaking albums to your mesmerizing solo performances—your music continues to inspire generations. Whether you're improvising on stage or composing quietly at home, you've proven that age is just another chord progression in life's endless jam session.

Here's wishing you many more years of harmony—and fewer broken strings!
