Due to the holidays I have a little more time on my hands and I've been surfing the blogs. I came across this entry in which you describe an "R-33" gig.
I had not been heavily exposed to classical music in my life, but a few years ago began attending an annual "free" concert given by our state symphony every year as a part of an "end of summer" festival.
I was absolutely mesmerized at that first concert by the beauty in the sound of the violins and the gracefulness of the violinists as they played.
I feel like "everything about me" began with that "free" concert that, BTW, my now teacher, was playing. To take up the violin in middle age has been daunting but so joyful and rewarding.
I'm a season ticket holder and donate at other times when I can. Who knows but what one individual concert is the first time that someone gets "turned on" by classical.
