This blog is about anything to do with making music. Including the learning of a musical instrument to the performing side of playing, and of course singing.
Over the past 30 years or so, music and musical styles have become so diverse that one person's meat is another person's poison - to avoid using the word "man" - another sign of the way things have changed.
Furthermore, technology has enabled a professional standard of recording music with a home computer. Just 30 years ago anyone who wanted to make a serious recording had to go to a studio full of very expensive equipment.
Live performance has also changed with the use of backing tracks and of course Karaoke, enabling any singer to have the best sounding backing available.
We could also compare things today to the dance band days when if you wanted to hear live music and dance to it, you would have to book a band of musicians who would be able to play a wide variety of musical styles in order to satisfy the wide range of dances around 20 years ago. Sadly both the dance bands and the quick steps valitas St. Bernard's waltzes etc. are also in sharp decline.
So is music today better or worse because of the changes that have occurred over the past 30 years?
