We have all heard that Beethoven was baptized on December 17th, and while (somehow) there's no solid proof of actual birthdate - I have always believed that it is today, December 16th. I'm not alone with that. Plus my father who started collecting Beethoven records at 7 years of age, well he's such a Beethoven lover that he's practically a historian on the man. He says it's the 16th, and I say "okay".
I must go out, however *if* possible later I just might post Beethoven (It's hard to find Beethoven shares anywhere online, I know - so just think of the service I'd be doing for the world). I'm feeling a bit Grosse Fugue-ish these days - what a knock out!
Happy birthday to the original King of Pop!
