While sitting here in Starbucks a familiar tune came floating over the airwaves, Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1: Prelude No. 1 In C, by Johann Sebastian Bach. This is is one of my favorite pieces of music. I happily soak in the soothing melody since classical music is rarely played here. As the music ends I wait to hear what comes up next. Much to my surprise the second track from this CD comes on, "Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1: Prelude No. 9 In E". Wow, I'm in heaven! I end up savoring 6 more of wonderful tracks.
Bach for Book Lovers is one of my favorites CDs. I purchased it back in 1998. Back then I spent most of my time reading or writing stories at coffeehouses. I didn't own a laptop yet. I'll admit, I spent too much time online. I need to find that balance between the Internet and holding a real book in my hands again. It's time to slow down and stimulate my mind - without the harsh glare from my computer screen. Hearing the lovely, relaxing sounds of Bach was just the nudge I needed. Thanks, Johann.
