Hi Jung, I’m not sure if I understood the intention of your topic correctly, but maybe this contribution fits in quite well. Let’s put it this way: Great musicians who have found their right guitar sound. I find it interesting in any case.

23. I have learned that I should perhaps deal with Beethoven in more detail after all.

I would like to join David and Jung at this point: The MLT forum is a wonderful place where you can talk about the music world and learn a lot of new things about music and sometimes also of things that one would not have expected in a music forum. I have not come across anything like this before.

[Jürgen]

And I have met a lot of great people here and you are definitely one of them Tom. Thanks a lot.

Hi Pascal, well observed, thank you very much.

I learned the exact course of the political scandal here from a confidential source that I am not allowed to name:

The case of the Sebastian K.

06.10.2021

Local time 00:15 am: Scene of the crime in Vienna Meidling: Sebastian K., at this point better known as the Federal Chancellor of the Republic of Austria, lives in an elegant terraced housing estate in a chic district of Vienna. Loud music has been coming from his house for hours. The neighbors are completely unnerved and call the police.

Local time 00:30 am: The local police arrive. When the officers try to admonish Sebastian K., he refuses to let them into his house, presses a 100 € bill into the hand of one of the policemen and says: ” Schleich’ di du Kapplständer” (” You better leave now -Insulting an official-„). The so offended policeman enters the house of Sebastian K. and is surprised: there are hundreds of CD’s lying around in the whole house.
All have the same cover” I bought myself a politician”.

Local time 1:00 am: Sebastian K. is taken to the nearest police station and questioned. He testifies as follows: An Austrian musician named Lisa W. had sent him dozens of these CD’s every day and asked him to do more for environmental politics, to take care of socially weak people in Austria, to promote culture better and to refrain from his corrupt political actions.

08.10. 2021

Local time 12:00h am: Sebastian K. is brought before a judge. The judge does not believe his story about the musician, but suspects that the CDs are illegal pirated copies that Sebastian K. wants to sell for personal gain. Sebastina K. is charged and sentenced for theft of intellectual property and receiving stolen goods. However, since Sebastian K. has political immunity at this point, he goes unpunished.

09.10.2021

Local time 5:00h pm: This incident causes a scandal within Sebastian K.’s party, sparks a real storm and more and more dirty details of his political machinations are leaking out. The opposition demands his resignation for corruption and other offenses. Sebastian K. draws consequences from this affair and reluctantly resigns from his office. What remains for him is a single CD that had slipped under his bed and was therefore not found: “I bought my self a politician”.

Thanks for the video David: „Das schiesst den Vogel ab“/ „This shoots the bird down“ / I want to say this is great video.

Hi David, it is of course difficult to draw conclusions from descriptive statistics. Here are some personal working hypotheses:

1. I don’t know what the exact distribution of views is (MLT members versus external visitors), but in my opinion, participation here on the MLT forum has also been declining for several weeks. Perhaps the two factors are correlated.
2. Other factors: seasonal conditions (preparation for Thanksgiving, Christmas holidays etc.).
   Due to the end of the year or the turn of the year, personal issues / problems are coming to the fore right now. Other interests temporarily recede.
3. The market is saturated: The old songs are sufficiently known. The only newer song “I bought my self a politician” receives therefore increased attention, or is the only new song that is advertised as soon as you open the MLT- Website. As a non-member you don’t get to see more and close the page again. Most Internet users respond to headliners and do not click through submenus. At this point marketing strategists would probably start to pay attention: Maybe it’s time for a new album? Youtube is a fast lane. The viewers are always looking for new attractions.

Thank you for the certainly time-consuming and laborious evaluation of the data.

Jung, The carillon (“Glockenspiel”), as it is also called, has its own clockwork, such as this carillon in Munich’s city hall.

I can understand your fascination about time and Timepieces very well, Jung. But remember: time is not real. It is only an illusion, a construct we humans have devised to describe the movement of bodies. When you take the train from Vancouver to Calgary, what happens in the meantime is what we call time. You can’t grasp it, you can’t cut it, you can’t play with it. You can measure it and count it, but what does that mean for us humans? Someone who is 40 years old is twice as old as a 20 year old (provided that time really had a beginning as assumed). Does he also feel twice as old? Is he twice as smart? Or can a 20 year old person run twice as fast as a 40 year old person? No. It’s called “time flies,” but we humans are just walking. The biological processes that take place in the body do not follow the physical time process linearly, but follow our own biological clock. And if this inner, biological clock in me ticks loudly, powerfully and pleasurably, what do I care about seconds or minutes. Then time and the universe will have to wait.

PS: I also don’t believe that you have really wasted time in your life so far. You may have sometimes just done things that didn’t match your ideas of effectiveness and success or your desire for self-actualization. That’s okay. That’s life.

If we had a human sense of time perception, then perhaps this is how we would experience time:

Hi Tom, Halloween is really shaking things up. You’re right, I just lost the clock theater somewhere. The culprit is the „Time warp“. 🙂

[Jürgen]

Hi Tom. Sorry for the confusion. David’s calculation with the 10000 days had given me the idea to make the flow of time visible somehow. At first I thought of a huge clockwork but found nothing suitable. Then I came up with the idea of the clock theatre, because the passing figures also represent the passing time. But I found that somehow inappropriate, it should be something nice, because it is about Mona’s and Lisa’s 10000 days birthday. Also, the clock theatre represents the development of mining. Austria is not really famous for its mining. That’s why I deleted the clock again. Sorry for the confusion. But the clock is pretty and fits the theme of time and development. Also, I just remembered that there are certainly salt mines in Austria. Fits yet. I’m glad you like it. (my thought processes are sometimes a little bit complicated ) 🙂 Voila:

Hi guys. David is right: this is a double bass (“Kontrabass”). These instruments are really that big. In the 19th century, French orchestras also experimented with an enlarged version of the double bass: the three-sided octobasse. About 3.5 meters high (11 feet). In 2016, the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal became the first orchestra in the world to feature an octobasse in its roster.
