So it appears that MF has 'upgraded' to the XLF's...I guess DW doesn't have the same restrictions on 'accommodations' as Herve Delatraz, LOL.

Guess they contracted audiophilia nervosa and upgraditis. Maybe Wilson just thought it would be good publicity and donated the upgrades.

Now everybody is going to have to go back and listen to everything all over again.

The title is: I Can See Music Everywhere

This is a story of friendship, tradition, and the power of shared music.

How did an experience listening to classical music in a professor's living room at the University of the South in Sewanee Tennessee change a young student’s life? An experience so indelible that forty years later it galvanized him to spearhead the creation of a campus listening library with 40,000 recordings, showcased in a million-dollar room with state-of-the-art audio. What impact does this unique academic facility have on the lives of the current "ear-bud generation" of students?

Debby,

Great video! Congrats to WA for being a part of this project.

I wish our local university would build a library like this instead of wasting millions on a losing football program.

How do you know that your losing football progam isn't still generating millions of dollars in revenue? Most football programs pay for lots of other sports at major colleges-winning or no.

The football team's record so far this year is 1-7, and the Athletic Department is $10M in the red.

Oh. That's not good. But since every student is overcharged by 1000% for books and tutition and most of the teachers/professors make crap wages, I'm sure the university has plenty of money even if the AD doesn't.
