Mac,

Poor wording on my part caused you to totally misunderstand my point, especially about the “electricity” part. I actually wasn’t including electric instruments such as guitars, keyboards, etc.

I was simply trying to draw a distinction between playing a musical instrument as opposed to simply punching buttons on a rhythm machine, computer or other electronic device.

Some folks are willing to put the people who have their music electronically created for them by devices into the same category as people who can play actual musical instruments. I'm not one of those folks.

That was what I was referencing when I mentioned "devaluing musicians".
