> What did the recording do to the live musician?

The recording destroyed the occupation of being a live musician. People still do it for what amounts to tip money, but it used to be a real job that people could make a living off of. If you had a business and wanted to differentiate it by having music, you had to pay people to play it live. It was the only way.

It also gave birth to the recording artist. It certainly didn’t get rid of musicians.
