There's still juice in this here thread!
I'd like to speculate on the Management Buy-Out (MBO) that occured at the Gen factory last year.
To my thinking - it's nice to see the "Generational" committment shown by the Brown family culminating in the ultimate ownership of Generation Music. It explains the steadfast maintenance of a musical tradition at the grass-roots level. The arabesque and arcane nature of the instrument should be no surprise - these things naturally attract mystique and moment with each Generation. It's almost like a semantic god form is struggling to break out into our continuum, and may have already done so!
This is significant somehow - not sure how ...
