After hearing some of the modern tunes I think we ran out and we are about
ready to be swallowed.

Steve,

If you compose four bars each consisting of four straight crotchets, then
there are 184884250000000000 possible tunes that can be written, so I think
it'll be some time before all tunes have been composed. If each tune takes
one second to compose then the earth will be swallowed by the sun before all
the tunes are composed.
It makes you think, don't it?

Cheers

Bob Smith
