I haven't found the instrumentalists to be a problem, but I am blessed that I am among very good players often as not. But the one that gets me is when, as a singer, I start a song and folks don't listen for my arrangement before they start to join in. Most of the time I try to make a song mine. The phrasing is usually different, and I emphasize the story a certain way. Often I get among singers that want to sing it their way, as opposed to how I am singing it. Makes me crazy.
