Re: pay cuts, etc

David got it right; no sarcasm intended. What we call music is different from what much of the general population calls music.

I play in several community bands and while we have a growing number of talented younger musicians joining our groups (their difficulty in finding musical employment is a great help to a band), our audiences tend to be older people who will sit quietly through a band concert and appreciate what they hear. Young people with concert manners honed at a rock concert do not sit quietly, much to the consternation of our traditional audience.

The future of classical music may have been predicted by the TV broadcasts of the Boston Pops. When i was younger, PBS would show entire weekly concerts of the Pops conducted by Arthur Fiedler. As time went on, the PBS shows featured the Boston Pops under John Williams with at least one popular entertainer. Eventually, the only part of the concert that was broadcast was the popular entertainer performing with the Pops providing background music. Now, the Pops are on TV in Tucson only on July 4, and most of that show is a parade of popular entertainers.
