So glad you liked it!

Yep, long-playing LPs in the 60s and 70s started to allow for much longer songs -- and pop music had a good long run with big tunes with massive solos!

That started to contract again in the 80s and 90s with punk -- for reasons not technological but cultural: Punk thought those long solos and long songs were self-indulgent and a form of gatekeeping ...

I've been a musician since I was a teenager too and these shifts in taste and aesthetics and technology really fascinate me!

What does your husband play?
