     You have an interesting point hee, but I am not sure that I completly
agree with you. On the one hand there is definatly a large differance between
listening to a piece if music and playing it. I played oboe during high school
and for a while in college. I relate to the music that I played more than
that I have just listened to. If I had never played classical music, I
may not have known enough to appreciate listening to it.

     On the other hand, there are a great many people today that do play
instruments. I would not be surprised to find that there are more players
today percentage wise than at any other time in history. There are a lot!
of guitar players out there.
