Way back when… about 20+ years ago, I was just starting out in what was then called Data Processing. Today it’s called Information Technology. Same shit, different name. The suits earn their money changing the names of departments.

Ah, but this is supposed to be about music. Specifically about music on my MP3 player.

In the very first data center I worked in we had a boom box, and each person was allowed to pick the music for one night, on a rotating basis. We had this one guy who liked what I would then call “weird music”.. being the rocker that I was.

I absolutely loved some of this weird music, but non more than Jean-Luc Ponty, the electric violinist.

My favorite Jean-Luc song is his take on Chopins Prelude 20. Very sad song, but full of emotion.
