Something To Think About

What’s been happening over the last several decades is that music has becoming more and more something that producers do by themselves for listeners who listen by themselves. Whereas if you go back say before electronics, music is always something that was done by musicians and listeners being together and interactive. I think that kind of interaction is the most important aspect of music, culturally.
