As one who as worked as a musician in Blackpool UK, I know about genres. I have writtten produced and performed in most genres. Look on Amazon ITunes etc. Under Jacqui K or Colin McColl to find a few still current. We would play any popular song requested in any genre, meaning give them what they want to hear and not try to educate the audience or push our own numbers. Michael this is a great mind blowing article (Embrace the Genre). Sprinkled with humour and full of interest.
Quick note,

This one was extra fun. Thanks!
Great read this week, as always, but as a fan of all that goes into considering 'genres' myself, this week really took the cake (or pumpkin pie)!
