Breaking Glass, or: Bach with a Skip
At work one morning I'd put Bach's Sixth Brandenburg Concerto—the one without violins—on the sound system. I've always found Bach to pair well with Sunday brunch.
Unfortunately, the disk had a skip in it. The same brief phrase repeated and repeated, playing over and over and over.
As I was crossing the floor to change the disk, the door opened and a customer came in.
When she heard the music, her face lit up. She gave me a radiant smile.
“Oh, I just love Phillip Glass,” she said.
