Today's New York Times

What goes around, comes around. I think most kids see iTunes and other sites as nothing more than a way to store music just for the sake of storing. This all came about as a result of file sharing and illegal downloads and with what one could get away with. A natural progression, if you will.

Once the trend was recognized and then legitimized, and then co-oped by industry, it was inevitable. Now, we have the come around, the recognition by some that there is better sound out there.

Hopefully, articles like this will help spark some more interest and this new generation will take notice and maybe seek some of us out for advice, or at least, a listen. :-)

Phaelon, spot on analysis and my observations as well as I used to go to the same haunts. Later on in life, while at a jazz club, I spotted a former dancer working the men at the bar and when our eyes met, nothing needed to be said, I smiled, looked away, and she went back to work. At least it was a better place.

All the best,
