Will Fly's post about an documentary on the Everly Brothers struck a chord with me. Myself, I arrived in the world with the television generation. I had relatives two generations back, however, who recalled life without cinema or television, and precious little radio. These elders remembered being part of a community in which it was rare to go out and attend something like theater, a concert, or any unruly combination thereof. They remembered when families stayed at home and entertained themselves and each other. Music was a big part of this, although it was not limited expressly to music. And there were no gramophones or record players then. Sorry if this sounds like a digression. But it does make one reflect.
