Aside from the Bugs Bunny and Lone Ranger background music tracks, and the background music on my "story" 45 rpm records, it was probably Saint-Saens Danse Macabre. I was maybe 8 years old. Our elementary school class was going to a kids' concert given by the local orchestra, and the music/choir teacher was giving us a preview of what they'd be playing. So he played us some version of this over an institutional record player while giving us the visual cues...skeleton playing the violin, etc. Got chills. Got bigger chills when I heard it in concert a short while later. This definitely engendered a taste for "macabre" themes in music for me. When my dad finally bought a console stereo a couple of years later, and ordered the obligatory Readers' Digest Music of the World's Great Composers set, I must have worn out the Hall of the Mountain King and other minor key works.Dirk
