Born on this day in 1812, so very possibly he was rock-a-byed to the soothing sounds of
The 1812 Overture: German composer
Friedrich von Flotow, whose best-known opera is
Martha. Which is, I believe, about a similarity in mothers' names. Let's check:
"Famous Operas" from Classics Illustrated #84 [The Gold Bug] (Gilberton, June 1951), pencils and inks by Alex Blum
Well, they certainly "saved Martha" in that one there, didn't they?
Happy birthday, Friedy!
