Thread Name: Money v Folk
Subject: RE: Money v Folk
Oh yea, and
My original contention was that earning money from 'folk' music in the period 650BC - 1850BC was, at best, a peripheral activity. I have yet to be convinced otherwise.
You are making the distinction of 'folk' music, yet, when challenged, you refused point blank to define it. I have never made the distinction. As far as I am concerned all music is folk music. And people who are good enough have always been paid to perform it.
Are you suggesting that people like Mozart and Haydn were never paid? Or are you saying that Mozart and Haydn did not perform folk music?
Hope you enjoyed your night as much as me. Did you actualy PAY to see anyone?
:D
