Famous Birthdays, September 7

Yesterday was my birthday, and today, I learned that it had been Muffie's birthday as well.  Happy birthday!!

It is always cool to discover that you share a birthday with someone.  The following famous and significant figures also share our day.  Seems like September 7 was a good day for monarchs, politicians, artists, composers, singers, and cartoon character voices.

Of course, it's really neat to share a birthday with Queen Elizabeth I, Grandma Moses, Garrison Keillor, and Buddy Holly.  But I was most excited to learn that I share the day with the famous Heinrich Stölzel, horn player and one of the inventors of brass instrument valves!  How cool is that?!!
