What do Hoagy Carmichael (1899), Benjamin Britten (1913), George Eliot - real name Mary Ann Evans (1819), Robert Vaughn (1932) and Tom Conti (1941) have in common?
Those brackets might give you a clue. Nov 22 is/was their birthday. So do I give you some George Eliot? A bit of Silas Marner, perhaps. If I could find it, I might quote some lines from Terence Frisby's play Rough Justice, which I saw earlier this year, starring Tom Conti.
But I decided to go with this. The lyrics aren't great - but the music is wonderful. (It's written by Hoagy Carmichael, of course.)
