Bach, Goldberg Variations
:
My most vivid memory of that day was riding home on the bus from high school listening to what was then WQXR. While every other station was simulcasting television news, the QXR presenter, in that station's trademark calm and deep voice, gave the weather report for the next day and ended it by simply saying, "Tomorrow would have been a beautiful day." She then played a selection from the Goldberg Variations. It was a very meaningful and painful moment, even for a 13-year old boy.
