Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on April 16, 1944)

Happy Birthday, Shoji Tabuchi! You're the only fiddle player who can make country music fans line dance and classical enthusiasts tap their toes. Your performances at The Shoji Tabuchi Theatre have dazzled audiences for decades—proving that a violin in your hands is more powerful than any electric guitar.

From Japan to Branson, you've fiddled your way into our hearts with unmatched charm and talent. May this birthday bring you as much joy as you've given us through every unforgettable show. Keep on bowing those strings, Shoji—you're not getting older; you're just hitting another high note!
