Darn it! I missed Vivaldi's birthday, which was yesterday (4th March). He would have been 330 years old (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Mind you, does he count as a celebrity musician?

Well when I started this thread I was thinking of current living musicians, but we could extend it to dead ones as well. I suppose we would have to allow Vivaldi, but I can say Im too much of a fan of his , compared with his contemporaries !

No, living people is fine (probably keeps the lists short).
I'll add, then, that today (5th) is the 46th birthday of Craig and Charlie Reid, better known as The Proclaimers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Tenor Robert Tear was 69 on Saturday. What a great 'Gerontius' he was.

Quincy Jones today.
And although he's dead and so doesn't really count as having a birthday, I'm still going to mention Georg Philip Telemann.

This thread has got me sadly addicted to the 'on this day' page at Wikipedia (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

It was 22nd March (he was born in 1948).

Courtney Pine is 44 today - and Rimsky-Korsakov was born this day 164 years ago today!
