[Dixielandjazz] Required Reading

[Bill Gunter]

Hi all,

" . . . unfortunately the art of listening is dead. Ever since MTV, people 
in the US listen to music with their eyes."

Thank Gawd I'm around to preserve the art. I don't watch MTV and I classify 
myself as a person who listens to music with reasonable intelligence.

If the art is, as you say, "DEAD" then I assume you mean a significant 
proportion of the listening public.  Takes a pretty large proportion of 
Americans to successfully kill off the art of listening.

But, assuming that is so, I intend to do my part by breeding as many 
Americans as possible with the objective of indoctrinating them with the 
discipline of listening and while programming them to go forth and multiply 
so as to replace the dying horde of MTV listeners with this renaissance of 
the listening art.

No thanks are necessary. I plan to breed these listeners as a moral 
obligation to the next generation.

Respectfully submitted,

Bill "Just doing my part" Gunter
