For those who are not into Kurt Weill, the title of the post is a song from 'Lady in the Dark, one of his musical theatre pieces. I wonder what the poll quoted means in terms of 'American'?. Do you think this refers to American artists? Recorded in America. North America only? Discuss. Bob feels American music is influenced by all other cultures. What is American music? Can we be selective and say it is one thing and not another. ie. yes to Gershwin (or should that be Gershowitz) but not Britney. Hmm I'm a thinkin'. Was Kurt Weill's music written in Berlin classed as German, but the stuff he wrote in Holywood American. My head hurts now.....I'mm off.....church or nation team or tribe..its just a borderline... Gordon..... from Scotland...essentially of Celtic origin...but what does that mean.Vikings and Spanish influences, French and Italian.STOP ALREADY.
