Post Subject: A historical perspective?Posted by rowuk on: 4/29/2014

In the past, there was different types of music. The masses NEVER were without music. They had their invention instruments and folkmusic even when the upper class was into "other things". That basic honest folk music was even present in the US. Unfortunately the urbanisation of America changed a lot of that. Sprituals became "gospel". Jazz became crossover, school marching band for the masses became organized drum and bugle corps or fancy choreographed half times.

Still - in spite of all of this, the basic honest low level folk music is still alive and well - but only for people that have the luxury of "free time".

I would say that the listening time has gone down - not due to lack of opportunity, rather the listener being on TX rather than RX..........
