I had relatively major excision on my back today for one of the less scary skin cancers. Dermatologist asked me what music I'd like to hear.
I said anything I don't care. She said, it's going to be 30-40m, might as well listen to what you like.
(as if that part isn't unusual enough)
I asked for the Rach 2, and without skipping a beat she said "Is Kissin ok?"
She made some comment later about the beauty of his playing. I asked if she'd ever seen him. She said "I've known him since he was a small boy, we grew up together.
I asked what he was like as a boy. She said "a normal boy, except he worked 8 hours a day. His mother was very strict."

That's pretty cool!
I hope the excision went well and this is not turning into another continuous health issue.

I remember that his mother attended all of his concerts throughout the world, well into his late 20s. She watched over him like a hawk.

Sorta related....
Before the days of Spotify, etc. I was working with an opthamologist who was almost as much of a classical geek as (most of) us are.
We were starting an enucleation (one of my LEAST favorite operations), and I said, "Brian, what do you want to listen to today?
"Handel Concerti Grossi"
(ahem, I just happened to have that on my iPod)
"Coming right up!"
He was shocked.
