Birthday meme - May 7th

I've been tagged by Beemoosie to investigate the date of my birth. Since the anniversary of that day is coming up soon I thought it was an appropriate time to play.

Three events:

1. 1429 - Joan of Arc ends the Siege of Orléans
2. 1824 - World premiere of Ludwig van Beethoven's Ninth Symphony in Vienna, Austria.
3. 1952 - The concept for the integrated circuit, the basis for all modern computers, is first published by Geoffrey W.A. Dummer.

Three births:

1. 1812 - Robert Browning, English poet
2. 1833 - Johannes Brahms, German composer
3. 1840 - Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Russian composer

A death:

2002 - Seattle Slew, American Race-Horse - Triple Crown Winner (I was born in Seattle so this seemed appropriate)

Holidays and Observances - I'm not at all crazy about any of the three choices so we'll just forget this one!

Play along if doing so strikes your fancy!
