[lbo-talk] class and classical music

[c b]

There is a lot of music integrated with work as in Southern slave
field hollers, Russian peasants "yo ho heave ho", sailor songs, etc.
The rhythm of music is a basis for coordinating group labor.

Historically, indigenously,  drums were used for message systems in
Africa and America. Horns were used in hunting.

Music is not confined to leisure time.
