It seems music meant so much more when there was effort required to go get it, find it, purchase it. We found music and it found us. From transistor radios, to albums, and digital files. We each have a list of musicians that speak directly to us. I love Ted's writing about music and culture. Wonderful interview, Georgia.

Working while listening to classical music has helped make daunting tasks easier. Many a term paper I have typed on an old Underwood 50+ years ago in college at 2AM listening to Bach, Mozart, Beethoven. And yes, I put the finishing touches on a paper regarding Tolstoy's War and Peace while listening to the 1812 Overture! Musical memories can be inter-generational. Many a Saturday was spent when my son was young where we'd run errands in a 1980 Ford station wagon with the radio blaring music from the 1970's and 1980's. Years later, my son says this is one of his favorite memories of growing up with me.
