In Denver area for next 3 weeks for Montessori teaching school. Anyone around?.Or any good recs?. (In Golden specifically).

Prediction. In 10 years, human-made music = vinyl records. Respected but niche. Spent the week with my nieces & nephews. All they played was “AI brain rot music.”. No artist. Just dopamine. Us Olds romanticize artistry. The new gen won’t care.
