It is very sad to see the craftsmen who made our avocation possible dying off without a new generation of apprentice and master grinders. Looking ahead 100 years, there will be few straight razors in use, and no possiblity of more, unless there is a resurgence in the market and new blade makers appear. It is the same with old time Appalachian music, which I learned to play from two now deceased musicians-I have nobody to leave my clawhammer banjo legacy too, unfortunately. I live in Arizona, and see that the Native American tribes are dying off-there are only a few Deer Dancers left in the Pascua Yaqui tribe, and they are very old men. When they die, those tribal religious rituals and their associated music will, too. What will replace all of these good thing....maybe some type of techno music or rap? Few care about old things now.
