the final exam to my Music Business class yesterday and one of the

masses?". The answers were supposed to be: the radio, talkies, and
the record player. Out of my 6 students only one got it right. But what
was most disturbing was that three of them gave as one of their answers,
the printing press </font></blockquote><br>
As consolation, Wim, there is a certain mad sense in the printing press
as an answer. The 20's had a huge increase in sheet music of popular
songs, rags, jazz, and so on. And weren't talkies after 1920? When did
the Jazz Singer come out? <br>
