Home Music Lane

It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Funny you should ask...

... because I was just thinking about this. It was the summer between third and fourth grade, so I must have been about eight or nine. It was a hot day, and my friend and I were lolling aroung the house, complaining that there was nothing to do. My friend's mother, who was a music teacher, said something like, "well, why don't you listen to some music." So we lay down on the cool floor tiles, with our heads toward the stereo speakers (this was about 1965) and our eyes closed. Out of the speakers came a Bach violin concerto. In my mind I could see a gleaming waterfall, the water moving and splashing off the rocks in time to the music, and I felt this great joy.

I didn't immediately get into classical music though. Those were the days of the Beatles, Stones and Dylan, and I loved rock as a teen and college student. Later I got into jazz, and finally came 'round to classical. Never forgot the Bach...
