"I don't think that combined song and tune session work. This is due to singers needing to turn talented and willing musicians into an audience whilst not seeing that this is what they are doing or the frustrations that this causes."

"I was not of course suggesting that singers were not musicians. Just making a distinction. I should have stuck to the term instrumentalists."

Er, Shambles..... I think you were!!!! You were also suggesting that instrumentalists are incapable of being an audience and don't sing..... Would you take a kazoo to play along with a Mozart opera? He wrote tunes and words, but he doesn't expect everyone to sing along... Most people can't. Especially with the Magic Flute, and the aria from the Queen of the Night. However... I CAN get those notes, and if we ever meet up I will show you!
