Bette Midler (b. 1 December 1945) is an American singer, songwriter, actor, and comedian.
You Bette-cha!
On December the First, don’t forget
To find an LP or cassette,
And relish again,
As you did way back when,
The unique vocal stylings of Bette.

Franz Xaver Richter (1 December 1709 – 12 September 1789) was an Austro-Moravian singer, violinist, composer, conductor and music theoretician.

Richter, as a contemporary engraving clearly shows, must have been one of the first conductors to actually have conducted with a music sheet roll in his hand. – Wikipedia
When Franz Xaver Richter exerted control,
He rolled up a score, and then brandished that roll,
Though you’d think if the band were not keeping the beat,
He might have found something a tad more discreet.
