Today marks 79 years for Philip Glass, master American composer. He is known as part of the "minimalist" movement, though he prefers to describe himself as a "classicist" and as a composer of "music with repetitive structures." You can hear a sample of "Glassworks" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meGPgvLcpWk. My tie has a very minimal repetitive structure!
