For those of you who aren't saxophone players, one continuous note for an indefinite period of time IS POSSIBLE. It's called circular breathing, and it's a very difficult and advanced technique. I'm a proficient sax player, but circular breathing beyond me.

One note for 38 minutes....not likely. Eagle's GH the best selling of all time. Nope. Dark Side of the Moon, I don't know about 17 years....but yes, it was a VERY long time.
