The following is a result of the music page guestbook survey, a voluntary survey in which visitors to Bob Frazier's Music Page could indicate their music preferences, as well as a certain amount of demographic and other voluntary information, comments, etc.
Using a simple program to translate the guestbook entries into an Access 7.0 database, I have compiled a short list of information that may be of interest to those that have filled out the guestbook in the past. This list was compiled as of 6/13/97 (a Friday).
NOTE: this is not surprising, as it's well known that an overwhelming number of men vs. women spend time 'surfing' the internet. And in case anybody wonders, the word 'gender' refers to words in languages like Spanish and French, whereas 'sex' refers to chromosomes. Yes, Biology and English lessons are free.
Of all of the people who submitted guestbook entries, 237 selected one or more 'vocalist' choices and one or more 'instrument' choices, whereas 158 entered no instrument or vocalist choices at all. A total of 253 entered one or more vocalist choices, leaving only 16 vocalists who did not indicate that they played any instruments at all (other than 'the voice'). And, 371 people who indicated that they played an instrument did not also select one of the 'vocals' entries.
The results here are 'RAW', and have a small percentage of error. There were a total of 782 guestbook entries stored over the past year or so. Since the survey is voluntary, it presents a group of people who are not only willing to fill out a guestbook, but are willing to voluntarily indicate information about themselves (albeit non-threatening) for the purpose of producing results such as these. This does skew the results somewhat, though in many ways I now have a large enough sampling to ensure that the results are at least reasonably accurate.
