Musicians. Are They Musicians?

GTOriginal	Date: January 26, 2006 @ 9:41 AM Or are they merely intricate score playing machines? Is this thread designed to make us impromptu musical monkeys feel better about spewing random noise into our stuff in lieu of actual musicianship? Or is it merely an excercize in complete boredom? Can you loan me twenty bucks? What day is it?

But then I also have a friend who only plays from score, he clearly has a passion for the music he plays, so he couldn't be called a machine. Jill Scott says it best, "It's great to read music and play classical composition and all those wonderful things. But in the end, music should be from you soul." p.s. I'll need your credit card number in order to lend you the money, and you bank details along with a proof of identity. p.p.s. it is monday
