April 17 is one of those dates when just about everyone happened to be born. One can only speculate that July must be a particularly vigorous month!

Join me this afternoon as we celebrate the birthdays of Cecil Burleigh, Adolphus Hailstork, Johann David Heinichen, Gregor Piatigorsky, Harald Saeverud, Artur Schnabel, and Václav Tomášek.

That’s an awful lot of cakes to balance. Witness the inevitable pratfall, from 4 to 7 p.m. EDT, on WWFM – The Classical Network and at wwfm.org.
