If you really think about it what difference does it make?  I mean here's a whole generation of music "consumers" raised to think that some over-compressed, brick wall limited, MP3 computer files played through PC speakers or $5.00 earbuds sounds great.  Most people today would be blown away by the sheer quality of analog music reproduction that was taken for granted in the 70's. But that's progress...

Dare I step out onto this slippery slope?  Ahh what the hell  LOL..

This has always been a difficult topic sometimes getting very heated, sometimes not. I suppose the question hear, or should I say the difference of opinion is "when does performing a physical act make someone a musician"? I don't have that answer, no one does. Its subjective. I suppose every person that rings my doorbell could be a musician. They each play the two same simple yet beautiful notes with equal  talent. But I think we can all agree that hitting the "play button" on a home stereo does not make one a musician, playing back sampled loops by any physical medium? Not sure of that either.

Don't look my way for the answers....

btw: the sound of my motorcycle is indeed music to my ears... just sayin'
