It all started when I bought a bit of Christmas music on iTunes…

I was going to order a couple of Christmas CDs from Amazon but then remembered that my CD player was on the fritz. And then I remembered that I could just download stuff and put it on my iPod! Well, isn’t that just too easy. Like today, when I felt like something other than Christmas music but still wanted something joyous. Like Glenn Gould’s Goldberg Variations that I still have somewhere on a cassette (remember those?). So I found it on iTunes (the 1955 version, the video shows a later version) and was listening to it within a few minutes. And so then I bought some Keith Jarrett. And a couple of singles by Aretha Franklin and Journey. And then I went… OMG GET ME OUT OF HERE!

Dangerous stuff. But as I no longer buy a book a week maybe it’s time to start plumping up my music collection.
