Bill Charlap (b. 15 October 1966) is an American jazz pianist.
Standard Thoughts
Bill Charlap plays jazz that’s accessible,
With elan that remains irrepressible,
And I think he’d concede
That there’s really no need
To get stuck in the Dark Inexpressible.

Dag Wirén (15 October 1905 – 19 April 1986) was a Swedish composer,best known for his works for string orchestra.
Public Radio Tips
Dag Wirén wrote music for strings
That’s always on deck in the wings
For stations to cue up
When nothing is due up, —
A sensible use for such things.

Friedrich Nietzsche (15 October 1844 – 25 August 1900) was an influential philosopher and amateur musician.

German conductor and pianist Hans von Bülow described one of Nietzsche's pieces as "the most undelightful
and the most antimusical draft on musical paper that I have faced in a
long time". -- adapted from Wikipedia
Friedrich Nietzsche, you may know,
Took his pen and had a go
At writing music, but consensus
Says a good amanuensis
Might have helped this brilliant thinker
When this was how he chose to tinker.
