Let's make this birthday one to remember.

76 years old (Born on August 17, 1948)

Happy Birthday, Rod Macdonald! From strumming your guitar in Greenwich Village clubs during the vibrant folk revival of the 1980s to captivating audiences with timeless hits like "American Jerusalem," you've truly made music history. Your melodies have resonated through decades, proving that great songwriting never goes out of style.

Here's wishing you another year filled with inspiration and laughter—may your chords stay crisp, lyrics witty as ever, and may every stage welcome you warmly (and remember all those tricky verses!). Keep singing loud; after all these years you're still hitting notes higher than most people's expectations!

Cheers to many more musical adventures ahead!
