But, they were edited like the ones today.  The flash here, flash there
element is what has helped bring about the modern day sounds & the way
people are dancing.

And, in reference to my saying one should be able to enjoy different types,
John comments:

Of course not, but neither did I berate any of them.  My jazz playing at
nite became even a little "stranger" during 1992 when I worked on a total of
22 Contemporary CDs that year!  :> 

There are things to learn in all the various types of music.  That's why I
mention on djml the other day the Scorese film of The Stones.  That band
exhibits vitality (from over 60 yr olds!) that is a major element in
capturing ones audience.

We probably agree more than disagree on all of this, John.  I think it's
just more just a matter of degree.

Any moment now the U.S. is going to come on-line, and we will most likely
here other inputs.
