That's fantastic. I left out I was taking piano lessons at that time, nearly all of it Classical music. "How can you listen to Metallica?" Duh...it's full of Bach! I mourn for these kids only knowing monotonous rap promoting profanity and low-life life-style when there's so much real music to be had. We may be in the End Times.

Thank you for raising good kids.

“Many evil and depraved men misuse music as an excitant in order to plunge into earthly delights, instead of raising themselves by means of it to the contemplation of God and to praise His glories.”

Victoria (Greatest of Spanish 16C composers, whose works are uncommonly exciting). (1581)
