Let's make this birthday one to remember.

71 years old (Born on May 29, 1954)

Happy birthday to the incomparable Robert Beaser—maestro of drama, titan of tone, and folk-melody magician extraordinaire! You've managed to turn innovative harmonies into delightful earworms that none can escape (and frankly, no one wants to). Your music blends emotional depth with dramatic flair so seamlessly—even your grocery lists probably deserve a standing ovation.

From pioneering new tonalities early on—to captivating audiences worldwide today—you've continually shaped musical conversation. Whether it's crafting breathtaking vocal writings or infusing fresh vitality into timeless folklore material; you've proven again and again: you're not just composing history—the melody's yours entirely. Cheers to you!
