What's this?

Your pick for greatest musician born on this date?

Johann Sebastian Bach 1685
Franz Joseph Haydn 1732
Etta Baker (blues singer & guitarist) 1913
Shirley Jones (singer/actor, The Partridge Family) 1934
Herb Alpert 1935
Hugh McCracken (session guitarist for pretty much a who's who of popular music) 1942
Mick Ralphs (Mott the Hoople, Bad Company) 1944
Angus Young (AC/DC) 1955
Paul Ferguson (Killing Joke) 1958

Herb Alpert was also one of the founders of A&M Records. And look up the list of people Hugh McC played with, it's impressive. Bach is the clear #1 seed (maybe the overall #1) but this is a tough regional.

Haydn's some stiff competition even on the classical front. -- `lag 03/31/2021 09:34AM
