Telling them they are not musicians just cause the do not play the instrument you play to me is being narrow minded, arrogant, and offensive.






aw c'mon.. cut Bob some slack. He honestly stated a point of view that is held by many people. He himself likes BIAB, he was talking mostly about how others make judgments about it.

He did go out on a limb regarding the question of how much skill is required before one passes the mysterious threshold to be called "musician"; but we'll never settle that because it is a subjective evaluation, and every person is entitled to draw that line wherever they want to.

We can express a wide view of opinions here without hostility if we contest the opinion, not the person who expressed it.
