What's this with "singers" and "musicians?" Since when has a singer ceased to be a musician (well, I'll admit there ARE instances...but the same is true for instrumentalists...)?

Sorry for the drift, but I had to get my 2c worth in on a pet peeve.

As someone else stated, we've had earlier threads on this issue and never managed to solve the problem. Musicians being human, there are often one or two who will try to usurp a session or song circle to their own ends. I enjoy both tunes and songs and like a mix of both. I also enjoy a bit of quiet time for reflection between either songs or tunes. I don't enjoy those sessions where people feel driven to fill every moment with some sort of sound. But I try to focus on enjoyment of the music being offered and to let the inevitable little irritations sort themselves out.
