Never got into it...Different time I guess...I’m 82.

Incredibly awesome music really helps.
I'm not quite that old--I was born when MiGs and Sabres were shooting at each other over Pyongyang. But by the late 1950s, we had become familiar with the Nutcracker's music. Tunes from the ballet were often included in Christmas concerts. I saw the ballet for the first time around 1958.
