As I read this list I see various comments-opinions about what other musicians have played. WHAT IS GOOD? If I play a song on a plastic slide whistle that is out of tune, or do Auld Lang Syne on New Years with my (heaven forbid) Kazoo, (which I did), and the people that hear it, like it, even though musically- in a more mathmatical sense, it sucks; Is this not GOOD music? My personal idea is that no matter what is played as long as some people think that it is a sound or series of sounds that are in some way pleasing to them, isn't that GOOD MUSIC? Or am I wrong? (Please don't beat me)
