Here’s a trivia question for you, how long is the longest song ever?

If you’re thinking it’s probably some obscure 30 minute Pink Floyd effort, you’re way off.

This change happened under the direction of Prof. Rainer Neugebauer. He is the Chairman of the Board of Trustees at the John Cage Organ Foundation in Halberstadt, Germany
