What's this?

Your pick for greatest musician born on this date? (now in its final month)

Johann Pachelbel (composer, "Canon in D") 1653
Engelbert Humperdinck (the opera composer, not the pop singer) 1854
Art Pepper (jazz saxophonist & clarinetist) 1925
Conway Twitty (country singer) 1933
Seiji Ozawa (classical conductor) 1935
Leonard Slatkin (classical conductor) 1944
Barry Gibb (Bee Gees) 1946
Bruce Foxton (The Jam) 1955
Gloria Estefan 1957
Omar Rodriguez-Lopez (Mars Volta, At the Drive-In) 1975

We're about to come up on one year of musician birthdays & start repeating (I started this on Sep 23 which is John Coltrane's birthday and a powerhouse day in general) so I'll probably retire it at that point. Enjoy until then!
