But more to the point, while folk music of the village square and domestic hearth are often more wholesome than today's popular music, John's argument seems to be how to do things with "mad skillz." (Apologies. That is what happens when I don't know how to use Greek fonts for "techne" like you did.)<br /><br />"Distinctions and Hierarchy," as Richard Weaver says. I like the point that different kinds of music, even when they are all not-immoral, are decidedly not equal. Some require very little sapere. Others, like High Music, much. This relates toward the degree to which we glorify God, I think.Nate Ahernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17156104589449287634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-471232512346545776.post-18182072724185013102009-11-16T10:39:54.827-07:002009-11-16T10:39:54.827-07:00Is there a distinction between pop(ular) music and...Is there a distinction between pop(ular) music and folk music?M.
