"The Acid Of Quantizing Progressions"

Copyright 2002 by: MARK V SHELDON

Wood & strings
Transformed
Into vinyl and needles
Hooks become beats
And do us in
A trance
Seasoned virtuosos
Cross-faded
Filtered
By high school kids
And businessmen
Seemlessly editing
The facts
They can't play
How's THAT for a loop?

(big hugggssssss) It all seems so confusing, and we are all squeezing the rights of our young people into a microcosm, a cubicle, and there the loss of breathing room can't help but arise doubt! (sad sigh) This is powerfully expressed, sweet friend, my thoughts are with all the youth, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Mark, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Endless edits
unearned credits
cut here
cut there
drop a beat
move a note
shove a bar
move your feet
while
cymbals
clash

Does anyone really know what time it is
in Chicago?

I love this poem. How many 'talents' are out there who've never once held an instrument or made a sound of his own. The music industry is drowning and deservedly so.

Noah:  An interesting take and a valid point.

Kacy:  I reason that the chronological displacement in Chicago would be directly proportional to the logical placement of now, relative to the distance between the two points...

Raph:  A fellow musician who understands...
