Would you pay to listen?

Do what I did...having been a musician for many years I volunteered to help with the sound for a monthly "folkie" concert series in a town I moved to in 1999...this lead to my designing their system and then running it for 9 years (this also lead to doing other "soundman" gigs for PAY even...still do a few), until I moved away. It covered many bases: I got my "Gear Head Geek" on with the sweet pro gear, I heard and hung out with the BEST touring singer/songwriter/pickers I could imagine, and could sit there and be "Knob Turner" dialing in what I thought sounded best while recording everything. In Stereo...like I said...do that...it was as if I was stealing beauty.

I have so paid that dub and have gotten a hundred thousand system moved out of the way so I could enjoy the music.

Would you translate that please?

For clarification: "Paid that dub" means one has provided financing for dialog editing in a film or audio recording. "Hundred thousand system moved" means the writer had mistakenly parked his used Bentley on the stage at the Hollywoood Bowl and hired a crane to remove it so the orchestra could perform.

hi dcstep:

perhaps i have misunderstood what you said or you have misunderstood what i said.

this is not a moral issue.

i bought many recordings. i paid for them. i occasionally attend live concerts. i pay to hear musicians perform.

the sound of a live concerts is so superior to that of any stereo system, that i will not pay to listen to a stereo system.

i hope that puts the answer into its proper context.
