Today's Pondering: What's a Song's 'Worth' ..... ?

Today I ponder the worth of a song.


What's worth (.99) to one person.. may be worth 99,000,000.00 to another. You know?

Its all very subjective, and... like all great art.... I see vinyl records of the same caliber.


Take the Joanna Newsom album 'Ys' for example. You can buy the cd of that pretty much anywhere say for ten bucks.

To me? ........ That is a masterpiece, unlike anything I've heard, and probably unlike anything I'll ever hear in this
lifetime.

So.... to me...... that is up there with Picasso / Andy Warhol n such. Jackson Pollacks... not a direct comparison, workwise,
but just..... the cultural, and in this case, musical value and significance. It could be auctioned at Sotheby's in my mind.

I dont know how to put a 'museum fine art piece' price tag on it though.. you know? ... I guess maybe the master versions of
the songs... I'm not sure. It just begs the question, the worth of a song/ album n such, varies so greatly from one individual
to another.

That album, basically to me, Joanna Newsom 'Ys', is priceless. There is NO price tag. Those who get the pleasure of having heard
it, can consider themselves a 'lucky, extremely fortunate..... Few'. The fact that I have the hearing to get to hear that,
and enjoy its serene surreal beauty.... I consider like........ an 8th Wonder of the World. And I know Ive said something similar
before, but its always worth repearting, especially with an album such as 'Ys'.


So......... name that price, what is your favorite music worth to you, say from an art dealer perspective in a gallery sort of
situation.... Because honey.............. That album 'Ys' sure belongs in a museum somewhere- dedicated solely to IT. And that's
my 2 sense for Friday, TGIF! ;))) #JoannaNewsom.
