Poll

Are music's best days now behind us?

No....but there's room for improvement.
No....today's music is just different from what we old folks remember.
Yes.  The best songs have been written and the most innovative guitar solos played.
Yes. There's no $ to be made in the music biz.  Where's the incentive?
All of the above.

Has all of the best songs been writtend?

Sad to say we are stuck in a "Time Warp" and can't get out. The same could be said for the music of the Big Band era including Jazz and The Blues back to Bach & Beethoven & Brahms.

All music is homoginized and a derivative of what came before it. You put it in a blender and change it accordingly. So be it the evolution of the instruments played. If it hadn't been for Rickenbacher inventing the pickup for the Hawiian lap top we might all be playing lap tops and ukelele's instead of electric guitars with synth sounds so we can imitate woodwinds, or orchestras of brass instruments.

Let's face it The Veneture's origianl "Walk Don't Run" is a derivative and inspired by Chet Atkin's version of the same song which was written & performed by Johnny Smith a Jazz guitarist.

Chow for Now, See you Philly
