Wendy knows already. This is our brief conversation: Alex wrote: While many of the pioneers of electronic music -- *traditionally made by DJs with turntables instead of bands with instruments* -- are from Detroit, most of them had to go to Europe to become major stars.
This statement is incorrect and is the second time I have seen it used in your stories. Instruments are used (not necessarily bands). Turntables are used by DJ's to PLAY the music. The instruments that are used to PRODUCE electronics are synthesizers, drum machines, samplers, and sequencers. Computers are also prevalent in the production of electronic music. While many pioneers of the car industry -- traditionally made by race car drivers instead of engineers and designers -- are from Detroit, most of them had to go to Europe to become major stars. See my point...? Wendy wrote: I understand Alex. Unfortunately, the people who insist on putting this stuff into my stories only have a cursory knowledge and can only allow for a sentence-long description. What they are TRYING to say is that many of these people PERFORM w/ turntables instead of a band/guitar/live drummer/etc. I thank you for your message though, and thanks for reading. -W This is something to think about...there is no telling what relevant detail gets cut by a reporter's superiors.....
