Although this discussion deserves to be above the line, I like that its in the BS section. This sections seems more informal, but that does not mean that the topic isn't as important as other subjects that are discussed in the above the line music/culture threads.

This history needs to be gathered and preserved. I'm glad that bobad's friend's daughter is doing her phd thesis on the this subject. I hope that she or other people write a book about this subject. And I hope the book is as interesting to read as this thread is.
