House Music (washingtonpost.com)
I smile to the couple next to me, and when they both smile back I ask, "Do you go to many house concerts?"
House concerts are exactly what those two words say -- concerts that people hold in their houses -- and they've become something of a nationwide phenomenon during the past 10 years. While there has always been live music in homes -- classical drawing room salons, rural front-porch hoedowns, Harlem rent parties, rock bands in basements -- the current style of house party has flourished because of a confluence of circumstances, the primary one being the graying of the baby boomers.
This seems like a really interesting idea that I've never heard of before. Probably because I'm not a graying baby boomer.
