Thread Name: [Formerly BS:] Musical snobbery
Subject: RE: BS: Musical snobbery
I play traditional tunes (had a ceilidh gig last night)

I play jazz (got a gig coming up this lunchtime)

I played 50s rock'n roll and some rockabilly (US & UK) for 13 years

I played New Orleans & Memphis soul'n funk for 15 years

I played in a blues band when I was in college

I sing and play at folk sessions and singarounds and in clubs

I played viola in the school orchestra when I was a kid

I played boogie-woogie piano in pubs in the days when many pubs had pianos

All good stuff. Snobbery, musical or otherwise, is losing perspective about the world around you.
