Hi Pavane,

Certainly in my youth it was hearing local artists playing "their version" of a tune that made you want to go out and buy the "real thing" from the record store or to go to the "real" gig. The local singer was like an advert for the real thing and everyone was happy.

But then, in those days, you could to see a big name artist in a venue where you could see the performance WITHOUT a telescope and the ticket price was affordable.

Unfortunately, then greed got in the way..........
