Let's make this birthday one to remember.

73 years old (Born on May 19, 1951)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Vytautas Kernagis! Your melodies have gracefully aged like fine Lithuanian wine, and your poetic verses still echo in our hearts louder than ever. Who else could make sung poetry as catchy as a pop hit? Only you!

From pioneering Lithuania's musical storytelling tradition to charming us effortlessly on television screens, you've truly done it all with style and wit. May this birthday bring you endless applause—though let's be honest: you're probably used to standing ovations by now.

Here's wishing another year filled with laughter, inspiration, and perhaps fewer requests for encores (but we doubt that!).
