TO OUR CHILDREN'S CHILDREN'S CHILDREN

I have been listening to and collecting music for 42 years. If I was only allowed to retain one recording from my collection, this album would unquestionably be the one I kept. Each time I hear it I am amazed that a recorded work so innovative, beautiful and profound as this one was ever created. During the 1970's, I probably bought more than 20 copies of this work on vinyl, only to give them away to friends. In my admittedly feeble and naive way, I was attempting to change the future. The record's title is appropriate. My parents enjoyed it. My sons love this record. Most likely, my grandchildren will, too. Calling it a masterpiece falls short. In the world within this music, indeed, art is love, is science.
