As the internet becomes more and more involved in the distribution of Recorded Music and pirating undermines the profit margin, live music will become increasingly important to the point that no one will mind if you record the gig and take it home with you.
This will mean that people that make their livings from music will have to be able to do it live.
This could lead to a renaissance of live music for all genres and Trad performers will be well placed to step into the breach.
A tad optimistic maybe but it's a lovely spring day and the Celandines are in bloom.
