In one sense, the musical artform lends itself to experimentation and
metamorposis, each succeding generation of artists brings their
skills and tastes and methods to the table...

I concur,
My 2¢ worth...
That's called Evolution.
"Sweet Home Chicago" is still a great Blues piece, whether
Robert Johnson or the Blues Brothers played it. Different
arrangements, but both are great.
So, why can't we enjoy "Walk, Don't Run" by the Ventures
and "Walk Don't Run 2000" by Les Fradkin, in our different
moods as well?
How many classical buffs went nuts when the Ventures
released "JOY"?
Trad, Rad, Frad...whatever...
Play it loud, Play it proud,
But please don't let Surf Stagnate.
Music is a living thing that must grow or die.
Keep up all the good work, my friends.
Happy New Year to all.
