GUEST,Pseudonymous Popular Music. Doomed to oblivion? (98* d) RE: Popular Music. Doomed to oblivion? 14 Sep 18

A few ideas:

1 If what we are told is true, then many of the songs now regarded as 'folk' began life as 'popular music' and have lasted, albeit sometimes via deliberate 'revivals'


2 I don't think Armstrong will be forgotten: they study the origins of jazz on academic courses just like classical music is studied, so his influence remains even if this is a minority interest genre.


3 Changes such as the Internet have maybe altered the way we access music from the past, eg early jazz and blues which might have been forgotten. So things will work differently in the future from the way they did in the past.


4 While we are in 'who put the **** in ***'mode, may I be the first to mention Scunthorpe?
