in a way, having easy access to non-paid, "pirated"
music could be a real boon for solo performers or
small ensembles willing to play without the digital
crutch.
a friend of mine is searching for a musician to
entertain guests at her 140th birthday party (she and
her husband celebrate their birthdays together) and
you wouldn't believe how difficult it is to arrange.
i live in the sticks here in italy and what you
usually get is someone with a fisarmonica or
electronic keyboard and an enormously loud,
unbelievably obnoxious, karaoke sound system - they're
everywhere! trying to find someone who simply plays
without all the electronic crap is impossible.
it's got to come full circle. the more musicians
surrender to the dubious charms of digitalia, the more
disposable - ultimately - they become. one musician
or a small group performing live, unplugged ... ahhh!
.. will become - if it hasn't already - precious and
well worth - one hopes - the heavy maintenance.
