A big happy birthday to American composer,  Glenn Branca, a hero from my hometown, Harrisburg, PA.

Born on October 6, 1948, he turns 65 today.

He is another musician I first discovered from listening to an early ROIR cassette.

65 is a good age. We wish you the best and keep on doing what you’re doing.
