Right now it is Preston Sturges, who in fact looks uncannily like my dad's father.

I kept it for as long as I could. Then I got a cease&desist letter from the National Association for the Advancement of Ken People for bringing the noble name into disrepute. They have a point.
Apparently that appalling photo is a 70s forgery by some disgruntled Barbie.

Is Obi-Wan the president of that organization?

My current avatar is Mieczysław Weinberg. I'll probably leave his mug up for awhile since Shostakovich gets all the attention and since Paul already has an avatar of Shostakovich up.

Setzer, Final Fantasy VI.

Final Fantasy VI was one of the first video games I played, back in 1998. It's an astounding cinematic RPG made in 1994 for the Super Nintendo.

My favorite part: when an apocalypse occurs half way through the game:

The game is especially notable for the tuneful and memorable score by Nobuo Uematsu.

I didn't really like playing as him, though, because I didn't like the slots.

That was one thing I like about older games: no voice acting. You hear the awesome music and read the text.

Vintage James Bama (the guy that did all the cool Doc Savage paperback covers) Frankie that he did.  It was used on different items, including the cover of the 1965 Yearbook (my birth year).

Currently the man who is arguably the most influential composer in music history, Caccini.

Really? I thought it was Stockhausen? Oh, wait.....you said most influential and not most atrocious composer.

My avatar is from a little known painting of Beethoven during his "Mozart is God" period.

Seriously though, I couldn't make up my mind as to whose music I like the most, so I photoshopped Ludwig's mug onto the Krafft painting of Mozart. It's an all right compromise I think.

My current avatar is RVW. Definitely one of my musical heroes. Reading more about his personal life, I have to say that he seemed to be fine human being. Incredibly humble and generous.
