Buon Compleanno!

A day filled with music, festivity and sweets: It's Ice Cream and Violins Day! It's National Cocoa Day! Today in 1759 the first US music store opens in Philadelphia. On this day in 1928 George Gershwin premieres An American in Paris at New York's Carnegie Hall. We also mark the birthday of a brilliantly inventive and prolific American composer, Alvin Curran — born 1938 in Providence, Rhode Island, he has lived most of his life in Rome, Italy; un'Americano a Roma. To celebrate the occasion we are serving ice cream — on this date in 1903 Italo Marcioni patents the ice cream cone in New Jersey — and dressing up in our Wednesday best (today in 1928 the clip-on tie is introduced).

With this Harmonica/Blues Harp Baseball Jersey we offer up a sartorial and virtual rendition of Happy Birthday. The design appears on other wares and wear in the Misc. Musical Instruments area within the mellifluous Music Instrument Graphics section inside the MUSIC Merchandise zone of CafePress.com's CHM Design Store - Music Stuff & More. We hope we manage to stay in tune.
