Today!

Today is what used to be called Empire Day. To me it’s important because it’s my birthday.  My wish is that I’m forty and am Queen Elizabeth I.  That would mean that the immortal Thomas Tallis would compose his magnificent forty part motet for me as a birthday present.   Champagne and Tallis = paradise.  Happy Birthday to all you other Empire Day babies and many more of them. Ge be!
