Happy Birthday to that bad girl of the harpsichord, Wanda Landowska! (5th July 1879 - 16th August 1959). Thank you, Mamusia!
"The man hath more music than honesty and is as famous for marring of virginity as he is for fingering of organs and virginals," said the Archbishop of Canterbury of John Bull. <3

Courtesy of my old friend, Graham. A little early for Caturday, this week, but too good not to share at once.
Right. Have a nice cup immediately before going to sleep and risk wetting the bed. (Thank you, Graham)
