This is the story of my first time listening to Dream Theater. This is before Mark gave a proper introduction to them at Covenant Bible College (CBC). I was told about Dream Theater by Mark, but I never listened to them prior to what happens in this story.
Living at the farm with my dad, we had a computer with Windows 98se on it. This was in the mid-200s or so. At this time, Windows Media Player had a search function and it would bring up search results like a browser. I never had anything to download music. Even if LimeWire was compatible with Windows 98se, I never heard until I was at CBC. Anyways, the interesting thing was you could download or listen to music you found in that search. Thanks to Mark, I searched Dream Theater and I came across today's song of the day, "Octavarium." I listened to it and it blew my mind. 24 minutes of mind blowing amazing music. Something I'll never forget. I even told Mark that this song blew my mind. So good.
I owe it all to Mark for not just telling me about Dream Theater, but also getting me to dive head first into Dream Theater at CBC thus becoming a fan. Very glad I did. Thank you.
