Andrew Lloyd Webber aka Baron Lloyd Webber is a British composer with long running musicals, film scores, and various recordings to his credit.
One of my particular favorites is his album, Variations, which I first encountered in the Navy courtesy of young FTM2 Michael Lawyer ...
who was quite the electronics head I might add —
and the album has remained high in my list of all time favorites since that time.
He has a wide range of eclectic offerings which vary from operatic through avant garde and has received innumerable accolades and awards from his peers and the world at large.
He was born on this day in 1948. Happy birthday to you !
