Tycho Brahe (14 December 1546 – 24 October 1601) was, quite frankly, an example for us all. It is rare indeed that a man should possess scientific acumen, a false nose, a sense of humour, the blood of royalty, and an inspirational moustache. On the other hand, once you see his moustache you begin to understand the rest.
Bunny Berigan: Moustached Individual of Distinction and Prowess
Bunny Berigan (Rowland Bernard Berigan) (November 2, 1908 – June 2, 1942) was one of the greatest trumpeters in the world of jazz. While individuals of moustached persuasion usually refrain from blowing their own horn, we’re proud that Bunny did it so well, achieving great recognition as both a band leader and studio musician. After an illustrious career he succumbed to cirrhosis of the liver at the young age of 33.
Luckily for you, the recipient of this missive, Bunny’s music lives on. In fact, having escaped the death grip of the Copyright Office, much of it is available free of charge. As your adviser in Moustached American Music, I suggest that you visit the following link and listen to Bunny’s big hit “I Can’t Get Started Without You.”
