rendition of &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/mrdankelly.vox.com\/library\/posts\/tags\/mandolin\/\">Black Bottom Strut<\/a>&#8221; for $0.89.

I&#8217;d been inspired by Mike Seeger&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.smithsonianglobalsound.org\/trackdetail.aspx?itemid=44015\">version<\/a>\u00a0for nearly forty years but only knew of the T.S.G. version through Seeger&#8217;s liner notes. (I attempted my own\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/technologists.com\/sauer\/songs\/joyous.mp3\">recording<\/a> for the soundtrack for <a href=\"http:\/\/jackotis.com\/\">Jack Moore<\/a>&#8216;s <a href=\"http:\/\/jackotis.com\/embedSs.html\">Sandscript<\/a> in 1975.)<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Then I started seeing comments on Wired&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wired.com\/entertainment\/music\/magazine\/15-12\/mf_morris?currentPage=all\">article<\/a>\u00a0about Doug Morris, chair and CEO of Universal Music Group, particularly where he&#8217;s quoted: &#8220;There&#8217;s no one in the record company that&#8217;s a technologist.&#8221; Given all of the technical wizardry of musicians, audio engineers and producers, that disclaimer is hard to accept. For example, I&#8217;ve thought of Peter Gabriel as a technologist ever since being dazzled by a concert at the old Austin Coliseum in 1982.<\/p>\n<p>But what is more striking in the article and commentary is the lack of homage to MP3.com. The Wikipedia <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/MP3.com\">summary<\/a>\u00a0of MP3.com history seems approximately correct. (In searching though <a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/\">http:\/\/web.archive.org<\/a> for <a href=\"https:\/\/technologists.com\/kaybuena\/kaybuena.html#charts\">charts<\/a>\u00a0with Kay Buena&#8217;s songs, I discovered archives of MP3.com a little <a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/19971221151451\/http:\/\/mp3.com\/\">older<\/a>\u00a0than Wikipedia&#8217;s report of a 1998 founding date.)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelrobertson.com\/mm_rss.php\">Michael Robertson<\/a>&#8216;s MP3.com (not the\u00a0c|net <a href=\"http:\/\/MP3.com\">one<\/a>) started to make us aware of &#8220;MP3&#8221;. But more than that, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/MP3.com#My.MP3.com\">My.MP3.com<\/a>\u00a0seemed a plausible way for the music industry to monetize MP3s almost eight years ago. What would be the fortunes of that industry if significant MP3 sales had started in the year 2000?<\/p>\n<p>Universal Music Group <a href=\"http:\/\/www.law.uh.edu\/faculty\/cjoyce\/copyright\/release10\/UGM.html\">prevailed<\/a>\u00a0in stopping Robertson.\u00a0U.M.G. had another chance to leverage the MP3.com concepts and technology when <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Vivendi_Universal\">Vivendi Universal<\/a>\u00a0acquired MP3.com but then Vivendi\u00a0sold the domain to c|net in November 2003 and abandoned the rest.<\/p>\n<p>There were other <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allaboutjazz.com\/php\/article.php?id=853\">eulogies<\/a>\u00a0four years ago.
