I like Bach a lot; I’ve transcribed a few short works of his for use on the classical guitar, including “Au Haupt voll blut un vunden” (spelling?)

All my life I've had doubts about who I am, where I belonged. Now I'm like the arrow that springs from the bow. No hesitation, no doubts. The path is clear. And what are you? Alive. Everything else is negotiable. Women have rights; men have responsibilities; MGTOW have freedom. Marriage is for chumps. If someone stands in the way of true justice, you simply walk up behind them and stab them in the heart-R'as al Ghul.

Another thing I found out, from back in my Navy days when someone let me play their electric guitar (back then I only had acoustic and classical): Bach sounds pretty good on an electric guitar, too.

Bach applied for a Catholic (I think) church job and as part of the requirement, he had to marry the previous church organist’s daughter.

He didn’t take the job.
