Johann Sebastian Bach was born on March 21, 1685, so his birthday has already past. Fortunately, Classical WETA in Washington, DC (90.9) has been celebrating all month long. Sadly though, March is almost over. I’ve loved being able to turn on the radio in the car and know that there is a darn good chance of being able to hear some baroque (generally, my favorite period of classical music – love me some harpsichord).

On a vaguely related note, coming up on April 17, the Folger Shakespeare Library is celebrating Shakespeare’s Birthday and for the last three years WETA has sponsored the event and a brass quartet representing the station has played in one of the book rooms.

It’s also a great event for kids (I brought friend’s daughter last year).

Oh, and my father’s birthday is coming up, too.
