JS Bach and Me, a Love Affair.

I got up close and very personal with Bach today, this is the closest I've ever been to my hero!  I will write more tomorrow, as I chose the hottest day of the year to visit Leipzig, and I need to drink a lot of tea and go to bed early.   The photo left shows the two of us, Johann + Vicki, the perfect couple.  I would love to have met him, he had to produce a new piece of music for every church service, and his output of great music was prodigious.   I watched a lady place a red rose on his tombstone, which was already covered with flowers, and felt very moved.    I wanted to leave something too, a small token of my great respect for him and his music.  Back Thursday with all the news of my trip.
