Once it was a crime to educate a Black Person
Fearing that black literacy would prove a threat to the slave system -- which relied on slaves' dependence on masters -- whites in many colonies instituted laws forbidding slaves to learn to read or write and making it a crime for others to teach them.

Excerpt from South Carolina Act of 1740
Whereas, the having slaves taught to write, or suffering them to be employed in writing, may be attended with great inconveniences; Be it enacted, that all and every person and persons whatsoever, who shall hereafter teach or cause any slave or slaves to be taught to write, or shall use or employ any slave as a scribe, in any manner of writing whatsoever, hereafter taught to write, every such person or persons shall, for every such offense, forfeit the sum of one hundred pounds, current money.
This is done today with inferior education programs at most schools

Rahsaan Roland Kirk
For the record.....from one of the sources I found:
those familiar with arcane jazz history know . Rahsaan Roland Kirk played a nonstop circular-breathing sax solo for two hours and 21 minutes in front of a roomful of witnesses in a London jazz club in the early '70s.

THE FUTURE OF TODAYS MUSICIAN
The Future of Today's Musician
No longer content to work hard only to have their fate decided by multi-million dollar corporations, musicians are beginning to take business into their own hands.
Edmonton, AB (PRWEB) March 10, 2006 -- No longer content to work hard only to have their fate decided by multi-million dollar corporations, musicians are beginning to take business into their own hands. More often than not musicians are now choosing to be independent, not because they have to be, but because they want to be."With the exponential growth of technology, musicians every where finally have the tools & vehicles to compete with corporate artists," says Shane Lamotte, Lead Guitarist, Manager and Director of Marketing & Sales for indie band Living Illusion. "Musicians are becoming successful self-employed business owners, not just talented artists. After all, who’s better at selling a band than the band itself?"Technology advancements in video and music recording combined with the growth of the internet have at last made it possible for musicians everywhere to get songs in front of their target market without having a lucrative bank roll. There are many advantages for Musicians who choose to stay independent, from the ability to retain creative control, to the amount of profit they can personally make."If we’ve written, produced, engineered, marketed, promoted, managed, and sold records for our own band, what sense would it make to have some one else take over so we receive 5 cents per CD we sell? All we’re doing is cutting out the middle man, and taking the power back."For more information and for an entertaining interview, call Shane Lamotte at (780) 904-7625.# # #Press Contact: Shane Lamotte Company Name: LIVING ILLUSION Email: email protected from spam bots Phone: 780-904-7625 Website: http://www.livingillusion.com
