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. Tom Granvold decvax!ucbvax!oliveb!tymix!granvold
