Neanderthal music

Yeah, it is far-fetched, but I kinda like where this researcher is
coming from. Maybe because I'm a drummer, and further down on the
evolutionary chain, but it might be worth some thought:

From your link Jon:

"Obviously, I'm trying to address a sort of impossible topic. I
mean, how stupid for an archaeologist to write about music because
you can't hear anything in the past,"

I didn't get much feedback about my post about, music
in the distant future.

Will anyone remember what we compose today? outside of
*perhaps* family members? Even great great grandchildren
would be a stretch.

Is our music *supposed* to be as transitory as we are?

Does putting it down on paper or on a server help us to
*believe* it will move people later?

This is from the Pandora website:

Over the past 5 years, we've carefully listened to the songs of
over
10,000 different artists...

This number seems extremely high, but if true it illustrates
my point. So much music.
