I'm a little surprised that so far nobody has mentioned his birthday today! :shock:

Is everybody awake yet?

Yeah, but the old bastard's stopped sending me happy birthday cards, so now I tend to forget his.

Do y'all have any Bach festivities where you live? We have Bach Around the Clock here. 29 hours of nonstop Bach, starting tomorrow at 7 pm.

Not where I live. Why are they doing that by you? I don't think it's one of those milestone birthdays for Bach, is it?

It's an annual thing here.

It's not entirely Bach, but close enough for all but the most insane individuals

Not sure where you live, exactly, but I think it's nice when members of a community have this kind of passion in common.
