Some thoughts on Much of Modern Music History: Part 1
When I look at most of the music that I hear today I can trace the roots of that music right back to an African-American heritage. Well all right. I don’t think that there is much African-American heritage in Opera but then again I don’t listen to Opera of my own free will. I do listen to Classical Music more than occasionally and ,with some exceptions, there is not much African-American influence there.
