Two pre-Internet authors on Sociology of music:

Rob Faulkner's book on Networks of Hollywood Musicians

Richard P (Pete) Petersen's books and articles

Sorry, I don't have titles handy. 12-day road trip has fried the brain.

even if these guys are pre-net, they are both smart and thoughtful on this
subject.

Which reminds me of an interaction I had last Saturday at a Bat Mitzvah in
Tucson.

Me: Is that the Andrews Sisters singing "Candyman"?
DJ: No, It's Christine Aguilera.
Me: Sounds like the Andrews Sisters from the 40s.
DJ: I didn't know they had discs then.
