Maby recording has hurt music in some way, helping what you might call "bad" music. I've wondered about this a little, I've wondered what kind of music I would play if I had never heard a recording. I think music would be more local, nobody would sell millions of records but more musicians would be needed just so people could hear music. Seems like music would be more magical if recording was taken out of the picture. (this relates dosen't it)
