Well, in all actuality, we don’t know Beethoven’s birth-date. The only surviving records are the date of his baptism, which was December 17th, 1770. One can assume, and Beethoven agrees with this, that baptisms of the day usually occured 24 hours after birth. That would put his birth-date on the 16th, but again, no surviving records.
And 133 years and one day later on the beach at Kittyhawk, North Carolina two bicycle mechanics/salesmen did something really cool. And 80 years after that I took my first solo flight. I never had the opportunity to meet Mr Beethoven or the Wright Brothers, but I did meet Mr Roddenberry. I used to think of other music when I was in the air, but now it’s mostly this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ2u8747v_8

Beethoven’s baptism was in December; the exact date is at best guess, 16 December.

On Ray Charles’ birthday he brought in a piñata. Kinda ironic, but fun.
