Today's David Clayton Thomas's 66th birthday. He's the distinctive voice of Blood, Sweat and Tears. Fortunately, he shares his birthday with some musical types that are represented in the Mudd, since the Mudd has no BS&T:
Mel Tormé (1925)
Arnold Schoenberg (1874) (interesting side note: he was triskaidekaphobic, afraid of the number 13; ironically, he was born and died on the 13th day of the month) Here's a CD of his opera Moses und Aron, with "Aaron" spelled with only one "a, " since two a's would have resulted in a 13-letter title.
Clara Schumann (1819)
