remember that I did not say that professional musicians should not exist only that they should go beyond entertaining- they should entertain in ways that make positive impacts upon the creation of a singing songwriting public= this might be something as simple as handing out a song sheet for sing a long or hanging out with the people after a concert rather than leaving or perhaps arranging for many small performances rather than one big one.....
professionals have always been with us and they play an important role but it is not the only role or the most important.
