Roger Sessions (28 December 1896 – 16 March 1985) was an important American composer and teacher.
Roger and Out
The concert promoter who freshens
Her programs with music Sessions
Will be greeted by seats
Left unsold for such treats
Which the public still calls indiscretions.

Nigel Kennedy (b. 28 December 1956) is an English violinist.
Odd Man Out
In 1991, the Controller of BBC Radio 3 John Drummond criticized Kennedy describing him as "a Liberace for the nineties" and objected to his "ludicrous" clothes and "self-invented accent". – Wikipedia
His behavior was odd and erratic,
Self-centered, and undiplomatic,
Veering this way and that
At the drop of a hat,
Which promoters pronounced problematic.
