I lived in Scotland for over 30 years, and Radio Scotland always broadcast a 'Gaelic Service' on Sunday morning. The singing style was completely unfamiliar to me - starting out sounding fairly chaotic as folks joined in, apparently at random, but then blending together as the whole congregation got up to speed; the sound was amazing...

These are always present, but in different cultures each element has more or less emphasis than elsewhere. I'm surprised you neglected to list the fifth element: Money...

There’s absolutely no relationship between music and money. They virtually never cross paths. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglo-Irishman Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Again it's a cultural thing. In Scotland in the 1950s we children would go "guising" at Halloween. We knocked on people's doors and started singing as soon as they opened. They always paid us to stop singing. 😁 Cheers, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
