Further to my earlier post, the definition of "musician" is still unclear to me.
I sung in choirs growing up, toured with a national equivalent of "Godspell", played tambourine in a folk-rock band, "played" flute at parties and jams, and lived in the woods off lyric royalties for two years. This isn't a sorry list of "accomplishments" but rather fodder to ask...Does this make me a musician? I've never thought so in the global scheme of things, but I've never felt like less of a musician than the next Joe Blow.
Seriously...I have no idea. I wouldn't call people like Rick/Roll or Mortis non-musicians though, because they don't actually play an instrument.
Perhaps this thread should be redefined as who plays an instrument and who doesn't.
