  6. Today's #rabbithole started at @Irishphilosophy and why #JonathanSwift finally agreed to let his choir debase themselves by performing #Handel's 1742 #Dublin #Messiah premiere #otd in a common music hall which led to winding Wikipedia tunnels of 32 flavours of #Enlightenment #Deism and omg it's 6pm!

  7. Composer George Frideric Händel was born #OnThisDay 1685 in Halle.

    Famously his "Messiah" was first performed in Dublin.
