 J.P.Sousa - he's not dead. He's just pining for the fjords. |

The Little Train of the Caipira. Thanks for that Bryn. Yet another anniversary falls this day. This time its CPE Bach's birthday today. He was born on this day in 1714. One of JS's many offspring!! |

Its the turn of Samuel Barber today. Although he composed that famous Adagio, one of my favourites is Knoxville, Summer of 1915. Great piece of writing there.
