Thread Name: Origins of traditional songs
Subject: RE: Origins of traditional songs
Music publishing not only had an effect on singers repertoires but political beliefs, I think. My grandmother and her sister saved up to buy a piano which means you buy sheet music. My point is Music Publishers are not at a lost understanding the power of music and this effects which songs are sung, played or heard. See, both of those girls changed their names, moved to the city, and became suffragettes voting FDR while husbands voted Willkie which probably would've never happened if it weren't for that piano:/
On the other hand our granddaughter is saving up for a PlayStation. Funny old world, init?
