a growth spurt brings me to

select * from composer where strftime('%m', birthdate) == "04" ;



And because my csv file had some entries like 1987-1-23, I also needed

select * from composer where strftime('%m', birthdate) is null ;



Putting that date into the file as 1987-01-23 would have worked as 
expected.  Bulk loading needs clean data   ;-)
