I was speaking about the creation of sites for distribution, as opposed to, yes even your Gershwin example will apply, meeting people and colaborating on music, but the distribution in general. The "personality" that music has is lost in alot of ways through this almost "pay to play" series of events. Everyone has their own idea of how to play music, as well as how to make money off of it, the latter of which has never been my motivation. Which again, is the basis for opinion. Not a guideline for all. On Tue, 28 Sep 1999, Tom Ritchford wrote: |I'm listening right now to Ella singing Gershwin.
