Today is the Birthday of Gustav Mahler. Mahler is more than a personal Hero.
I discovered his Music at age 16. I sat in a car by the water's edge and listened to one 20-minute excerpt from the 10th Symphony 100 times. Later, en route to Japan to record the Chapter 5:8 World History-making album, I did the calculation and yes, I had listened for 33.333 uninterrupted hours. It was a chilling moment to discover that arithmetical fact a Lifetime later while on a plane over the Pacific.
In SYNC with this day, here are some recent images. Enjoy & Godspeed! S
