>> This is empirically false. We have records of dance music, of broadside ballads that were sung in the streets, of the music people played at home. And there were lots of student drinking songs about being young and free.

We have recordings from the 16th century? Do you mean "recordings" as in sheet music for automatic pianos or organs etc?

They said "records", not "recordings". I took this to mean references in historical records.
