I'd worry about the people who can actually stay awake through a 2 hour Bach only concert.

Well I must be ready for the men in the white coats because I just spent the entire day listening to Bach (commercial-free) on the Symphony Hall radio station on Sirius/XM radio. That station devoted the entire day's programming to Bach in honor of his birthday.

To me, Bach never gets tired. I've been listening to the Brandenburg concertos for 20 years now and something new is revealed with each listen. And the Brandenburgs are among Bach's "simpler" works. Compositions such as the "Art of Fugue" and "Goldberg Variations" can occupy one for a lifetime.

Sam, I doubt you’re ready for white coats. I’m glad you’ve found Bach, but too much of any one thing can be bad for you.
