Rubbish. I have many friends who play instruments. Paying to hear certain sounds is the aberration of history.

  What exactly are you even saying? What is "rubbish" and what do you mean by "certain sounds"? People have been paying for live performances of music, i.e., "certain sounds", throughout all of recorded history. So it's the opposite of an aberration. "Paying to hear certain sounds" is a time-honored human tradition. If we broaden our definition of "paying" to include barter, I would guess it goes back to the invention of musical instruments.

    I meant that the idea there is little live music any more. Historically people have paid for the time of musicians, not for music. If you want to hear more live music, pay for someone to play at your venue. If you want to be heard as a musician yourself, take your instrument down the pub or onto the street and just start playing.
