More Gratuitous Musickal Posting (TM)

Happy Birthday, Johann Sebastian Bach! Born this day in 1685 in Eisenach, Germany, I consider him to be the absolute mack-tastick grandaddy champeen of serious musickal thought, bar none. Bach inhabits a plane of musicality so high, so nearly infathomable and so closely attuned to the fundamental workings of the cosmos, that Douglas Adams felt the need to use a time machine, a dead alien ghost and a millenia-old space-borne supercomputer to explain his existence in our world, one of the greatest back-handed literary compliments I've ever come across.

I don't really have time to do Bach any more credit today myself, so go on over to the J.S. Bach Homepage and browse away.
