A local Bach Society presented its annual concert recently, a fine affair featuring selections from several composers, including Bach and Beethoven.

Digitally remastered, no doubt.

Digital information technology is doing to media distribution just what the typewriter did to the fountain pen: rendering it an heirloom.

“Our circumstances are changing. There are no longer the environmental pressures in place to produce great music, or any other form of art (save, perhaps, motion pictures). We are changing. Our minds are changing. Our souls are changing.

We evolve.”

Time is a timer.
Time and Human Nature having been devised by God, interact to guarantee the outcome toward which we are heading. The only variable in the stream is Acts of Faith, but the outcome in the physical world is foretold. Free will. Choose wisely.

I still buy 78’s. In fact, we still spin 45’s, 33’s and even them new fangled CD’s. Of course, one must never (ever) pay retail; everything is used book store fare, garage sales and estate sales. Over time you’ll get everything you really want and the process of waiting and hunting helps to clarify your tastes and reasoning for making a purchase. Hollywood or Wallstreet have no grip on this household.

We need to reverse this trend. I hope it's not too late.
