Thread Name: 'Our' Music - How Did That Happen?
Subject: 'Our' Music - How Did That Happen?
Thinking about a post in the EFDSS thread, where someone spoke about how the media is starting to take "us" seriously, and the music being 'ours', as in 'our music'....I was wondering how this happened?

HOW did a music that was sung by any Tom, Dick or Harriet, once upon a time, become so fenced in, so protected, so 'OURS'?

Music belongs to EVERYONE, doesn't it?
