What a fascinating story! Thank you for bringing this to my attention. It definitely shows the resilience of the human spirt and its refusal to bow down to tyranny.

It's ironic that this subject would come up at the same time vinyl recordings have made such a resurgence. Music isn't just sound in the air or bits on a computer, but something people want to hold in their hands. This desire to be in the physical presence (<-- there's that word!) of musicians and their performances is a big reason why Spotify will never take over the world.

I agree with you Kurt! That's a great observation. It reminds me of why people still so often prefer physical books to ebooks :)
