|    The Day That Music Really Did Die    |

      From: williamkeithmahler1967@gmail.com              An excellent read at the NYTimes about the devasting loss of music in a fire       is why I leave you this response left in a discussion forum.              Just reading that beyond excellent full length aritcle really made me realize       just how massive a job ASCAP has sampling the waves for each artist. The sheer       size is almost as if I have more time to walk around the Earth once or twice       in my lifetime and        actually accomplish that feat than I would to listen to one thousanths of a       sheer millions of the music that exists in any form, memory or out of a       instrument live and every way between. As a musician myself, i am but one       unseen individual drop of water        gushing from Niagara Falls in an hour but I'm there. Sure that's an       overstatement but I hope that gets you to thinking of exactly how precious       beyond spoken and written words all that music, lost forever is and how       vitally inseparable music is to        everyone ever to before and for the rest of mankind to be is. Take the music       away and just consider it an outright emotional, psychological and eventually       physically detonated nuclear grenade from inside a persons soul and I most       humbly sincerely mean        that fully. Maybe it's the fact that i have a new DNA dad and my best friend       is going through pace maker surgery but I am left with tears streaming down my       face.              https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/11/magazine/universal-fire-maste       -recordings.html       From: William Mahler               --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
