When I was little, my parents couldn't always afford a babysitter, so
they'd often bring me with them when they went to visit friends. One
night in 1968 (I was six), they were trying to find something to keep
me occupied. Fortunately the people they were visiting had a good
stereo with good headphones (yes, if you knew where to look, you could
find fantastic audio equipment back then). My parents' friends
thought I might like this album of "electronic music" they had picked
up recently.
I listened to Switched-On Bach straight through three or four times
that night, and to this day it remains one of my desert-island
records. I have four copies of it: The original, which my parents
bought me a few days after that night, the "audiophile" pressing which
came out in 1982, the extremely rare "sitting Bach" cover, and a CD.
Thank you, Ms. Carlos.
