Music Lovers in Standards

Great to have re-invigorated friendships with so many of you at the SES annual conference in Portland, OR.  As a one-time professional musician, it always amazes me how many folks have really deep connections to the music world, whether as an artist, or an avid listener (or manager).

Sharing a couple of links below, and specifically calling out the connections I have made here;  @Gordon Gillerman (avid guitarist and audiophile); @Cheryl Levey (metal music and live music generally); Breiffni O'Domhnaill (fiddler); @Sean McGrath (guitarist, singer, composer) - and many, many more.

Did you know there's a metal song out there called "Noncompliance To ASTM F 899-12 Standard"?  Check it out here:  Carcass - Noncompliance to ASTM F 899 12 standard

Did you know I run a musicians community of over 500 bands in 83 countries?  Check it out here:  Global Musicians Fish Pond

Did you know I wrote and recorded an album in 2011?  You can find it on Spotify here:  My Lucky Fish

As musicians and music lovers, you can always leave your links here for your fellow standards professionals - curious to get to know you better - to enjoy.

One world, one family, one musical heartbeat.

Maybe at next years event, there could be a jam band? I can feel a band name coming on...."The Consensus"...Maybe a thematic song or two...I asked ChatGPT to write a blues on the subject of "Comment Disposition" and this is what it wrote:

Comment Disposition Blues

Well, let me tell you 'bout a little table
That's causin' me some blues
It's called a "comment disposition"
And it's givin' me the blues.

It's got all the comments
From folks far and wide
And I gotta read 'em all
And keep 'em all in line.

Chorus:
Oh, comment disposition blues
Got me feelin' so confused
Gotta sort 'em out, one by one
'Til the job is finally done

Now some folks are happy
And some folks are mad
And they all want changes
But that just makes me sad

Chorus:
Oh, comment disposition blues
Got me feelin' so confused
Gotta sort 'em out, one by one
'Til the job is finally done

I gotta be fair
And give 'em all a chance
But sometimes it's hard
To keep up with the dance

Chorus:
Oh, comment disposition blues
Got me feelin' so confused
Gotta sort 'em out, one by one
'Til the job is finally done

But I won't give up
No matter how tough it gets
I'll keep on keepin' on
Until there's no more regrets

Chorus:
Oh, comment disposition blues
Got me feelin' so confused
Gotta sort 'em out, one by one
'Til the job is finally done

And when it's all over
And the standard is revised
I'll look back with pride
And know that I survived

Chorus:
Oh, comment disposition blues
Got me feelin' so confused
Gotta sort 'em out, one by one
'Til the job is finally done

I'm all in Sean, Pittsburgh doesn't seem too far to check my Martin guitar.

On the same theme, and wanting to add to the set list, I asked ChatGPT:  

"Write a ballad on the theme of acronyms in standards, using as many acronyms from standards developing organizations as possible":

A.W.A.K.A.L. (Acronyms We All Know And Love)

In the world of standards, there are acronyms galore
From ISO to ANSI, they're a language we adore
They help us communicate in a streamlined way
But sometimes they can leave us feeling quite dismayed

There's IEC, IEEE, and ITU too
Each with their own set of rules to pursue
ASME and ASTM, for mechanical design
And CEN and CENELEC, for European guidelines

EN, ETSI, and ECMA, for electronic goods
And UL and CE, for safety as they should
NIST and ANSI, for measurement precision
And DIN and DVGW, for German precision

But sometimes the acronyms can get out of hand
Like when SAE, ASTM, and ASME all command
Their own set of standards, which can be quite a feat
To navigate and understand, let alone to meet

So next time you encounter an acronym in a standard
Take a deep breath and try not to feel too flustered
Remember that they're there to help us all comply
With the rules and regulations, that keep our world unified
