I don't know if the kid I referenced who was doing that impressive DJ work is a "musician" or not. He may be. He might play a mean guitar. Or he might not.

Bear in mind my other references, though.

There were people I knew in my life who still had not accepted the saxophone as being a "legitimate" instrument, ditto the guitar. They, too, refused to append the "musician" term onto great musicians who played those two instruments.

Those folks are for the most part, gone to glory.

The two instruments - and the musicians who play them plus the audiences who enjoy hearing and viewing them being played, are still here.

Here's one for ya to think about; If that young band I referenced makes it big and wants to play more venues in more states, at some point they are going to face having to join the Musician's Union in order to play those venues.

Dimes to donuts, the kid scratchin' the records will then become a Union Musician.

Something to think about,
