Appreciated Ghostgum! The soundtrack is 2 instrumentals, so each one is a lot shorter than "Alice's Restaurant". But since then there have been oodles of recordings lasting longer than 10-11 minutes. Side 2 of Love's 1967 "Da Capo" album is a single track at 19:04; BS&T's 1969 "Blues Paer2" is 11:45; Franck Zappa's" Gumbo Variations (69 or 70) is 12:55; plus bands like the Grateful Dead and Pink Floyd must have done a lot of stuff over 11 minutes long. Neil Young has done 3 songs longer than 10 minutes: "Cowgirl In the Sand" 10:09; "Natural Beauty2 10:23; and "Change Your Mind" 14:40. There must be lots more bands, particularly rock and jazz, who have far exceeded 11 minute tracks. My longest instrumental is "Sophia Loves V2: Gnosis of Love" at 7:30.

Some favourite Waoist Adages:

#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.
