You might have wonderful time with your room mate then. <br /><br />I was also in a dorm of med school where I have known of classical music. I was with a room mate who was an oboist at the school orchestra. We have listened to a variety of music with a component stereo we gathered. It was the days when I first experienced with the tunes familiar to me now. No ham radio. But still very fond memories. <br /><br />I am just reading a book on the last 4 years of Mozart. He has travelled to Leipzig where he met a number of friends or disciples of great Bach there. As soon as Mozart passed away, there was Beethoven coming to Wien. What a productive era it was!<br /><br />See you soon.<br /><br />Shin Shin JA1NUThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01887476281297960362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229771691402494724.post-68651224347329237522016-01-15T21:34:26.925+09:002016-01-15T21:34:26.925+09:00Great stuff.

I still remember my first day in college when my new room-mate, a fellow from the Washington DC suburbs, showed me his classical music collection ... all on 78 RPM LP records. Nearly all were classic music, along with some show tunes. The very first record he played featured E. Power Biggs at the pipe organ of some large European cathedral, playing "Fugue in E-Flat Minor." It totally blew me away, and opened the window of timeless music to me. Wow. I still love the R&B of the Fifties and Sixties, and the Rolling Stones, but classical music now is one of my great joys.
