Can become either a sign post or a hitching post.

I applaud the making of new forms; I compose music in the new "Indian Maqam" form, a form that arises from both classical and folk traditions, but that has the dynamism of rock 'n roll.

I also treasure the classics of the past, the music that came from millennia ago, and do my part to preserve classics in as much of their pristine original form as I can.

In the words of a song sung by my daughter in third grade:

"Make new friends,
But keep the old;
One is silver,
The other is gold."

Or, as Chairman Mao said:

"Let a hundred flowers bloom, let a thousand schools of thought contend"
