BTW, the best points on record needles were made of diamond, making Beethoven and
his fellow classicists maybe rock musicians?

I had already remembered the old cartoon from Mad Magazine, depicting the origins of music (stick against rock, rock against stick, rock against head...until, about 10,000 BC, orchestras were formed...)
Incidently, in these parts, some Southern Baptists always leave their shades up when having sex, so people won't think they're dancing...
As to whether Ludwig & his contemporaries were the rockers of their day, Mr. Twain once said of the music of Richard Wagner, "It's not nearly as awful as it sounds..."
Just a few random neural firings from the Scotzophrenic mind...
