The "TV thread" reminded me of a recent conversation with a musician friend. He is a historian, who claims that, prior to commercial radio and TV, 90% of homes in the US had musicians and musical insturments. Nowadays, it's around 5%. Is there some definitive, scientific study of thsi somewhere.
    My deceased dad told me that, back in the 1920's and 1930's, you could ride the street-cars or walk through neighborhoods, and you would ALWAYS hear live music from the porches, yards, and houses.
    I quit watching TV in 1963. Have I missed anything?
