Fran, thank you, a great find. I started to listened to big bands in my early teens. I fought the change in music as I am fighting the new technology. In my music store I had a record department, which made me more aware of the coming changes.
Music changed from songs like What Are You Doing the Rest if Your life, which used many colorful chords, to three chord songs;
So, if I loved the song Misty when it first came out, I had to dislike Hound dog. Do I play Hound Dog? Yes! Why? Because I have allowed money to direct me. It is the same with much of the new technology that is being offered. I do appreciate the technology that helps me to express my love of music. I love Tony Bennett, but I did not like his duet album. I would describe some of the singers who sang with him as people who were not singing, but yelling.
My family and I loved Barbra Streisand. When she began to move to the new music, I knew she would do harm to her beautiful voice. That is what happens when start yelling and stop singing. Why did she do it? MONEY!
My last thought is about the path SZ is going. I start my day with SZ, but I find very little about creating beautiful music, and a lot about technical products.
I am not against new technology, I have an iPad, a computer, and a blue tooth speaker. Fran, I understand the video, Not so much with my intellect, but from my heart.
Thanks again, John C.
