It's interesting but sad how few views and posts we get about music these days.

The Tip Sheet was begun to encourage enthusiasm for music - to help spread the word. Clearly, since we started it 20 years ago, that enthusiasm has waned. Not died, just faded.

Superficiality (the curse of modern society) has infected people so that now love of music is less deep, less all encompassing, less dominant.

It was like breathing or drinking in my youth. Not a luxury but an essential. Without it I could not have lived.

Today it appears to be a pleasant extra in life. Like strawberries instead of food-by-drip; tastes better, more stimulating but not vital.
