I remember listening to it over and over, going to sleep, one hot summer with no A/C. The white bedroom curtains would flutter in the darkness.

That was a good summer. I was a teenager. The LP wasn’t very powerful, so you could hear the record getting a little worn after a while.

But the melodies. And the story of the symphony itself. Kind of like Beethoven’s 3rd. Or 5th. Or 9th.

Ours was a Brahms, Bach and Beethoven house.

My folks went to hear a man play the piano in the basement of their church.

It was long ago now, but I have always been amazed at the idea.

I was in the Guitar center today and they had a HUGE selection of VINYL RECORDS!

(I felt SO validated!)
