MUSICAL BIRTHDAYS – AUGUST EDITION
A Recurring Mid-Month Saturday Ritual at the SoundBar. This month’s celebrants include many stellar performers and composers whose music you know and enjoy. We print the list of Birthday boys and girls – living and dead – and you can let us know whose music you’d like to hear this evening.
