Today is Gustav Mahler's birthday. 7-7-1860 to 5-18-1911.

Back when I was younger, we would celebrate this day with a non-stop listening to all of Mahler's symphonies. I'm too old for that now.

Listen to some Mahler today!!

edit - changed the title of the post to not be year-specific

And after that, you can go listen to some Doc Severinsen. Today is his 80th birthday.

Check the date of the post. It was written back in 2007. The concert was at Ravinia on July 6 last year -- I was there too. Darn it, didn't even remember that it was Mahler's birthday the day after.

And speaking of mountains, there is a peak near Rocky Mountain National Park named Mount Mahler (after the composer/conductor, no kidding):

In any case, Happy Belated Birthday, Mr. Mahler and Doc. I guess I will do some belated celebration at Tanglewood this weekend, where the BSO will perform Mahler 2 (Bernard Haitink conducting).

I feel honored to share a birthday with two of the greats. Now, if I could share their talents.

Here's another July 7 birthday. Perhaps you share his talents!
