Tin Pan Alley

Tin Pan Alley must have been a crazy place to be. It sounds like an interesting time, but ludicrous (not the rapper). It would have been great to be there and see the many music houses being established but if the street really sounded like clanging tin pans I would need some Advil at hand. None the less it's a time when music was evolving yet again, and many great writers emerged such as the ones shown in lecture. I was surprised at some of the songs that were written at the time, some of which have had remakes since then. I wish today's music would take some pointers from this time. The music from the late 19th and early 20th century may not be my favorite, not bad by any means, but this to me was real music. It has much more meaning and heart to it than a lot of the music today. Fergie should take some crooning lessons to fix her loud and irritating voice wow.
