What is wrong today is more a matter of there being a lot less music being made, in part because there are fewer amateur musicians than there used to be. And what IS made that is good has a harder time getting distribution. But yes, there's good stuff out there, it's just not on the radio. --scott Well, if you read a couple of books (both called, "Tin Pan Alley") that I've read recently, I think you'll find that you are correct....The reason (these books seem to think) is that when Bill Haley hit the charts with "Rock Around the Clock", he sold so many records that it spelled the death of Tin Pan Alley....There just wasn't any reason to sell sheet music anymore, and almost no more reason to try to sell anything but R & R vinyl.....
