Music Industry? What industry?

[James Coplin]

I think that what often is forgotten regarding music is that the idea of
the big artist/industry etc. is a fairly recent innovation.  Certainly,
there have always been famous musicians but I see music returning to the
state it was in before the 1930s when everything was more or less "folk"
minus a few notable elite cultural exceptions.
