Exploring and Explaining Circuits

I grew up in a suburb near Athens, Greece, to a middle-class family that went through very difficult times. One of my earliest memories is of an attraction to musical instruments, especially pianos, and of my parents pulling me away from them; I was later told that they were afraid I would become a musician, and that I "would starve". To this day, I regret not having learned to play an instrument well. Yet music is very much a part of my life. I credit it, in part, for my interest in radio and audio and, through those, in all things electronic.
