Music lasts forever. Someone will want to play it and someone will want to create it and someone will want to listen to it. What do we know of music hundreds and thousands of years ago. We have the advantage of history and the ability to reproduce the sounds and instruments of the past, present and future.

Society is ever-changing. Just because what we see with our eyes seems a certain way, doesn't mean that is the reality of things. There are many musicians out there studying and playing even better than yesterday's best. There are a lot of lazy people out there too. There is new technology that suits the new society. Who are we to judge?

Hey, I've got an idea. Let's have a professional music league and pay the creators and players millions of dollars and put their faces on every conceiveable piece of food and apparel. Then maybe the arts would become important enough for our society to think its children should be schooled in it. And then maybe our schools, colleges and industries would value and support it.

Music lasts forever!
