    Dunno what that is, but there is apparently one that is 639 years long. They started playing in Germany in 2000 and it just introduced it's sixth chord this week.

    I wonder if there is an oak tree outside listening to it.

    But a song is a fragment of eternity, therefore eternity cannot be a song as it would then be a fragment of itself, which is impossible.

    A song has always a beginning and an end.

    I disagree.

    songs don't have to be lines, they can be circles.

    Right on man, right on...

    I hear that song every day, and its never the same, just another verse with added musicians...

    Hail brother of nature.

    Peace all,
