I once had an email conversation with the bass player of the Santana band, Benny Rietveld. An excellent musician. I asked him if he knew why the second movement of the 3rd Brahms Symphony was not mentioned on the CD, which one of the songs is based on. (It was that song with Dave Matthews singing, I forgot the name of it.) He said that Carlos even played that music to the musicians in the studio. I know that there are numerous people involved in the process of making a CD before it gets shipped to the stores. But since then I have been losing some of my respect for Mr. Santana. Come on, plagiarism sucks, even in the sampling age. - - Burkhard - -- GNU/Linux in Education Wiki Project: http://sfzwiki.opensourceschools.org/ public key ID:0xFD82303B - hkp://blackhole.pca.dfn.de FP:0A65 5E83 F44F 47A5 3DFC 19C5 7779 E411 FD82 303B -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/BYWud3nkEf2CMDsRAoiIAKC5tCF6MqLemBbVc6NtoeKySC7WpACgrkOP 9QM1aQMQfU5WDauEhUJtDmE= =1A3b -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
