Publisher's NoteAn addendum to American entertainment history tracing the 19th century boom of musicians and their decline as the recording and film industries began to expand into the 20th century. Kraft (history, U. of Hawaii) likens professional musicians to the artisans of the 1800s facing big recording studios and Hollywood stages and the "entertainment factories" which they engendered, often leaving local performers out in the cold. Thus, their history becomes a case study of the impact of technology on industry and society. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
