Considering that the earliest hominids evolved about 5 million years=20
ago (but in Africa, not Korea), homo sapiens 1.5 million, I think we=20
can assume there is a bit of hyperbole involved in the claim of an=20
eighty million year history for Korean music.
I also like the part about European and American music history both=20
extending back two hundred years. Someone better tell Bach he's part of=20=
musical pre-history. Or as another great musical historian, Chuck=20
Berry, said, "Tell Tchaikovsky the news!"
Thanks Riley,
