I certainly see your point. I don't feel that my comment is ill-researched. I was just repeating what I was taught by a phd in music in my general music studies class; so that's where it came from. We covered music starting in the 18th century on.
Not to discredit folk/minstrels, but the main focus of music was by the rich, in the above mentioned eras. Maybe, I didn't provide the proper background for the basis of my statement.
But I do know for a fact that the more money you have to easier it is to have a musical hobby-- or anything in life that matter.
