My point had less to do with the specific instruments than with the observation that one cannot entirely detach the talent from the context in which it flourished. You assume, for example, that Mozart, if alive today, would right pop tunes. What if he would be the next Benjamin Britten because his talent flourished best in writing large pieces for many voices? What if Eddie, transplanted, would be rather like Buxtehude, and concentrated on exploiting the resources of a single instrument, like the organ? I imagine that a writer like Dickens, were he alive today, would gravitate to the cinema or television, and that in the 20a, Quentin Tarantino would have been a writer of detective stories, like Dashiell Hammett. I have heard Windham Hill. Certainly pleasant, though not quite my style. I figure that Napster is like trading records, which is legal. In any case, I go mostly for oldies that are difficult to get without a lot of hassle nowadays. If I did not get them from Napster, I would mainly buy them from second hand record stores, especially those with a lot of singles, and therefore no one would get a royalty out of me. Thus, I personally do not feel guilty.
