We already have software program that downloads movies overnight and watch them for free! How about all those programming wizards out there to come out with another one that a user just names the favorite song and its preferred original singer in a list then you could have them ready on our PC to be heard the next day? I am not talking about the kind of iTune package that one has to pay USD0.99 per song but I am more into the kind of software capability which could retrieve and select the best quality WMA or MP3 files from the various multiple sources available for downloading a particular song. The program will evaluate the noise and recording quality after taking into consideration of interferences over the internet transmission and its environment etc.; after that it would make the best choice on our behalf to download them all into our computers while we sleep through the night. When you wake up the next morning, you have your Don Mclean's "American pie" and "Vincent", the Three Dogs' night's "Never been to Spain", CCR's "Proud Mary", Little Anthony' s "Tears on my pillow", Gene Chandler's "Duke of Earl"... the playlist goes on and on, presenting a repertoire of non-stop songs and music readily available near your bed side, inside your car and perhaps even in the office. How about that?
I used to prepare an Excel file with the content of which I fill in the titles of the favorite songs during my free time. I wanted to come out with a complete favorite playlist. You know it would take a long time to remember and state all the songs you wanted to listen. It is very much dependent on your memory, your mode there and then of the day which you suddenly have that pining for just a particular songs to be played along! Right now, "The house of rising sun", "Yellow river", "Those were the days", "Alone again naturally" come suddenly into my mind! Do you see what I mean?
I came from a family which could be considered as quite musically inclined. My brother CM Lee told me one day, it would be very nice to be a musician that could earn money and enjoy the work that you are doing at the same time, even though one might not become rich for being a musician! He and I own a complete set of drum, electric and hollow guitars, keyboard and pianos back home! It would be very nice if and when all the family members are ever home for the festive seasons, then everyone of us each pick our own most skilled instrument to play a gig session. We are no professionals but we are music enthusiasts that used to play with the worship team in our respective churches as guitarists.
Music is an integral part of our life. And sometimes I just marvel at how humans with the invention and aid of such instruments could produce such beautiful-to-the ears sound waves which sooth and touch our hearts and souls! I imagine one day when a host of angelic musicans of the heavenly orchestra, treating us to an occasion where we all immerse ourselves in enjoying a party of splended and most awesome display of the greatest sounds in this universe. All of us regardless of skin colors and ethnic origin gather before the throne of the most high God and start to worship and sing the song of praise " Oh God, how great thou art!"
