Re: [ARSCLIST] Recording rates for musicians.

I don't personally believe that classical music is superior to other 
forms of music.  However, I do know from personal experience that 
classical musicians spend countless hours listening to, memorizing and 
analyzing music.  My buddies that play in bands (not wind ensembles) 
spend much more time concerning themselves with how their jeans fit.
