Hey again Giza brothers and sisters,

If i could go back in time and secretly watch someones life from afar, Johann Sebastian Bach would be my second choice, my first will always be my father, who admired Bach like no other. I had overheard him saying to his older brother that “Johann Sebastian Bach was without peer.” For 32 years i have remembered scattered bits and pieces of my father, with most of my memories caming after the birth of my son. This last month through stimulating conversation here at Giza, being reminded of Bach from Dr. Farrell, then listening to his music have brought more and more memories of my dad back for me.
This is a wonderful documentary i accidentally found early this morning by Sir John Elliot Gardiner, a British conductor on the life of Johann Sebastian Bach. A documentary which i am sure my father would love and one which i wish to share here now with all of you. My father would play vinyl records of Bach since i was baby, he use to say that it would quiet me then and my eyes would widen with attention. Ironically listening to various pieces of this one of a kind master these last few day, has had me crying like a baby. Maybe it is like Dr. Farrell says, that classical music has a effect of “coherence” on the body, maybe it has a cathartic one as well . . .
