Everyone who ever existed has a birth anniversary in 1985.  And everyone
who has died has a death anniversary in 1985.  This excludes only people
who don't exist and never have (and if you're a stickler, those who were
born on feb. 29th).

Give the guy a break - he said it was by no means complete. :-)

*** IT'S A BUG, NOT A FEATURE ***

<the bug ate the complete list of anniversaries, so I sent out what was left.>

Thanks for the defense, Jeff.  The nice thing about the net readers is that
they either have an astounding inference engine or none at all.

In the context (do I really need to say this??), of Bach, Handel, etc,
the anniversary list is for those who have N00 or N50 th anniversaries
of either their births or deaths (in the case of N00, N>0; in the case
of N50, N>=0).

If I get around to it, I may add more to the list.  I just found an appendix
in the back of my Groves that lists composers and their contempories by
year.

Celebrate the lesser composers - they need it more than Bach or Handel.
