hmmm... I'd say that turntables will go the way of the guitar (that they've replaced). Sure guitars are still played, but are our kids going to be right into what we listen to? How many people these days are right into Motown or Duke Ellington (for example)? Many respect it (and many haven't heard enough, but there is too much recorded music now to digest properly I think), but their statements have already been made. So you can't go out and be a part of a great Jazz show the way you could when it was cutting everything else. Different periods of time value different sounds in music. Maybe a computer mixer that can play unlimited tracks similtaneously with sounds you make and samples and wave files and loops, will have an easier time generating music that people will want to hear in 20 years? Now I'm not attacking anything about what's going on these days that I love, but imo it has to pass.
my $0.02 Rich:) >>>>>>>>>>>>> i agree with GYS, if records and turntables were going to be misplaced..it woulkd have already happened. My friends and I always talk about how its ironic that we pump out the most "futuristic" music, with the most "manual" of instruments. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
