One day, almost exactly 40 years ago, I walked uptown and went into the College bookstore. I bought the 9 symphonies of Beethoven, the Mahler 9th, and the Bach Johannes Passion for a total of $16. Though I did not know it at the time, that was the beginning.
A year later, I was a bit of a loner, known only to others in the dorm as that guy that listens to Beethoven all the time. I knew I was different when I recognized that my dorm mates no longer knew my name.
