Why I hate the name "classical music" ...

Imagine if we had only one word for animal - one word for all living things in the world.   It would be pretty ridiculous.   Everything from a cow to an amoeba would be covered under the same word.

The term "classical music" is pretty much the same.   One word that is supposed to describe a thousand years of music.   Music from all over the world.  Music with all sizes of groups, written by thousands of different people.

Still, I don't have a better alternative ... so this blog is going to rove around the field of classical music.   All of it.  From Gregorian Chant to Michael Nyman and everything in between.   It's like the world's biggest audiosandbox, waiting to be explored.   Amazing!
