although its not really quite the same thing as having a population that

generally sings and plays music as part of daily life, i would point out

that there are more people recording more music and performing in front of

others than at any other time in human history. i'm not too thrilled about

the aesthetics of most of what gets performed, but that doesn't change that

fact that there are currently many more people who play a musical

instrument as a hobby, part-time or full-time profession than before

recording came along (a lot of which has to do with cheaper instruments,

probably).
