I can't agree with you, Bryan. It's true that most people enjoy
hearing new music.... when it's musical. (Manhattan Transfer and
Gershwin and Edgar Meyers, yes. Jagger.... sorry, no.) I think a
better statement would be that most people don't enjoy hearing the
_same_ music over and over and over and over again. We want new music
also.

But life without access (both listening and playing) to Beethoven,
Mozart, Cartellieri, and so forth would be a bummer, imo.
