The history of American Music really needs to be featured, showcased & Highlighted in our communities today.  Music is getting lost in the constant push of technology.  I believe our expansions in technology are great, they just should not cost us our culture in music.  Musicians are a dying breed.  Electronic sounds of sampled music is taking over and the youth today feel they are creating.  I come from an era when creating was from nothing to something, not simply something to something different.  We must be careful as we continue moving forward not to confuse creation with creativity or being creative.  Drop a note, I would like to hear some of your comments.
