I've read about hip-hop's purported origin, spontaneously at a block party in the South Bronx. (I went to high school in the Mid Bronx. We didn't know about this stuff.) No criticism, but the style, the culture, the sound is alien to me. I'm an old white guy who went to his first symphony concert at 11 and got hooked (you can see me with the glasses off Lenny's left shoulder - https://tinyurl.com/mt52k9jx.) Generations pass.

I went to those young people's concerts also, and only remember the one with Tchaikovsky's Peter and the Wolf. Now I wonder if Bernstein was the conductor and I had no clue who he was.
If it was in NYC it was Bernstein, but he didn’t take the show on the road.
