I don't believe this!!!

Forgive me, folks, but even the difference being made between people who make their 'living' out of music, like me, for instance, and people who don't, raises the hackles on the back of my neck.

Music is music, and musicians, whether they depend on it to survive or not, are entitled to play it anywhere they get booked. And IMO, the 'musician' who objects to this, is not a musician, and I would castigate him from the highest mountain.
How egotistic can one get??
