[78-L] Popular or good?

[Rodger Holtin 78-L]

"These days" - and how long has it been like that?

I was but a teenager when groups like Blood Sweat and Tears, Chicago and Herb Alpert's Tia Juana Brass were new and how remarkable they were and people talked about them because they made it to the pop charts and they were NOT all- guitar and - keyboard groups even then. That was almost 50 years ago. 

"These days " appears to be permanent.
