Thread Name: What music entertains us?
Subject: RE: What music entertains us?
As i nderstand it the argument was that most people using shanties as work songs did it in unison although some of the crews that were black americans did sing in harmony.
imo everyone must do what they want, after all shanties are no longer being used for work, personally i prefer them if they are sung with rythym, but music evolves people will always do what they want with music and so surely there is room for people who want to harmonise and those who want to do it in unison.a bit like sex really some like the missionary position others like it up em etc
music is like sex, it is there for enjoyment.
The Catholic church used to try and tell us that sex was just for procreation. music is for procreation but also for enjoyment
