Hi, Tzadik!
I appreciate very much your efforts with the blog; since you have started with musicians birthdays from January 6th on, I offer myself to fill the 5 days blank between January 1st and January 5th. There must be just composers or other musicians can be included also? (Excuse my English, I can express myself more easily in Spanish or in Italian).
Greetings from Buenos Aires
John Greaves! I really like him (mostly because of Slapp Happy, with Peter Blegvad [awesome!] and Dagmar Krause [marvelous!]; but with very few rock musicians, I'm taken aback that you include him. I mean, it's fine! that you include him....
Cheers!
