I just cannot remember. When I was a young whippersnapper, it was live music or nothing. Well, maybe a jukebox. Bands played in the bars about every night except Sunday. And hey, it wasn't even legal to be open on Sundays.

I can't remember the first place where there was a "dj" in-house spinning tunes. And I can't remember how he did it. Did they spin vinyl? About that same time, 8-track was popular. Did they use those or did they have reel to reel? I guess it was vinyl.

All of these I see these days, I mean in fairly large nightclubs, they are using laptops.

Just curious how it all developed. To the demise of live music. Ugh.

I was watching this kick-ass country band last night and in breaks, they'd play the dj music and it struck me again how much I prefer live music. From a good band, of course. That's the key. So many people these days, if it doesn't sound like a record, you're SOL. Hey, the ARRANGER!
