310th Anniversary Of Bach's "Bereitet Die Wege, Bereitet Die Bahn", And A Bach LP Thrift Store Purchase

It is December 22, 2025.  On this day, 310 years ago, Johann Sebastian Bach premiered the church cantata "Bereitet die Wege, bereitet die Bahn" (In English, "Prepare The Paths, Prepare The Road") in front of a live audience for the fourth Sunday of Advent.  I was driving home this evening and passed a thrift store.  I decided to walk in.  I had not been in that thrift store in a while.  Thrift stores ain't what they used to be as many of you know.  I walked in, and what did I find?  Very fitting.  Very apropos.  FIVE Johann Sebastian Bach LP albums.  No scratches.  It appears as if these were never ever played.  $1.99 EACH.  The spirit of Johann Sebastian Bach looking out for me on this day.
