Q When historians narrate the past, there are always choices involved. Who makes it into the story and who gets left out tells us a great deal about the people writing those histories and about the tastes and standards of the historian's time. As suggested in this week's discussion, if you were hired to write the history of music from the year 2000 to the present, how would you go about doing this? What tools would you use to select who would make it into your history so that someone reading your work 100 years from now would know what is going on now? Post your thoughts. Your responses should be two to three paragraphs long.
