Really interesting to hear Burke mention the coming of electricity. All over the world, electricity influenced traditional music. One thing was the access to radio and such. Traditions that relied on wind-up victrolas sometimes got more records made and sold than areas where they had radios. Later musicians listened back to records and heard the styles from regions where they didn't have radio. Looking up "Ireland electrification" shows maps of when places got the electric. It'd be interesting to chart where traditional musicians grew up and where styles were carried on. Here's a good article, that even mentions a melodeon player at one of the promotions for the lights being turned on! www.irishtimes.com/culture/heritage/let-there-be-light-the-day-all-ireland-went-electric-1.2845679
@@babybloc Thanks for reply...indeed the electricity and radio had a big influence on music ...also the arrival of tape recorders ...I first heard Joe Burke on a tape...long time ago!
@@tomgreene2282 In my book on Accordion history I wrote about Newfoundland where a lot of “oral tradition” was learned from song books that were passed around, and then radio Folks were so isolated. They talked about saving up batteries to listen to a weekly radio show, hoping they would play the same tune so they could learn the next section Other places where they had a jukebox they talked about learning songs one nickel at a time There’s some really interesting writing on how tune collections were passed around even in the 17 and 1800s which helped spread repertoire. The simple oral tradition story seems to be more complicated That complexity adds richness to the traditions I think. People were smart. It makes sense they used whatever tools they could to spread and share and learn.
@@babybloc Thanks for reply...where I lived music was transmitted aurally by listening to players, records , radio, tape.... also written published books and manuscript methods.
