Sorry, back to the topic- Jim also brought a great example-Disco. I didn't live the 70's, wasn't born, and thankful for it. However, notice that we still have orchestras today. The interesting thing is that the orchestra has survived it all, from the time that Glenn Miller started his orchestra, to now with the morons that get paid for doing pathetic poetry to a machine. Throughout this time you have some INCREDIBLE composers, Gershwin, Bernstein, Copland and of course, John Williams.
I think what would be a very VERY interesting topic is if you wrote a paper on what it was about orchestras that has sustained them through the ages.
