My son is also a music major (Performance Maj Adding to Richards post: My son is also a music major (Performance Major, Classical Guitar)in college. He has very eclectic music tastes but prefers Jazz & Classical. He is, no doubt, an exception for his age group but then, he grew up in a musical household. Cheers!

Most concerts are unaugmented--even the odd modern music. He plays sax as his primary instrument for university and there were saxes making ungodly, electronic-like sounds, but all really acoustic at one concert we attended. At the church I used to do sound at (used-to=long story) we had a tightrope. I actually pulled the choir mics down as people were sneaking them in, but told the choirmaster we'd need to mic the choir for things like the Christmas pageant...and if they didn't project more. We did for the pageant as no one can shut up during that, but otherwise, Robert sang in the unaugmented youth choir and in the rock attempt at a praise band...it never really got off the ground. I'm pleased that Robert still uses an acoustic guitar sometimes, but tonight he's hearing Black Sabbath live...so at least with my musical son, it is a real mix. My younger son hears less unaugmented music. He's down in NY State helping a heavy metal band move their archives. He packed half a ton of tapes earlier this week...many of which I had digitized earlier.
