You rarely hear hand clapping in songs anymore. Yeah, I found a list when this thought hit me. I see a Taylor Swift on there and a Lady Gaga and am sufficiently ignorant of pop music today to not recognize a few band names that might qualify but for the most part this list is comprised of performers from “the olden days.” (By the way, it should include “Heartache Tonight” by the Eagles.)
What’s my point? My primary complaint about music today is that it is overproduced, an approach that would almost preclude even the notion of something as simple and joyful as hand claps infiltrating the main instrument mastered in today’s recording studio: the computer.
