////It is kind of like saying/believing that the sound one gets from a guitar, fiddle or banjo is not actually music at all./////

Meaningless statement. I could kick a guitar and it makes a sound but it isn't music. It's music if it's being played by a musician. Kinkade was like a lounge pianist who knew a slew of old standards but they were all of the same genre and all in the same key. It gets old after the third song. and when you meet someone who has faithfully bought every CD and works as a rep selling more copies of his CDs to other people, would you not find that ridiculous and disingenuous?
