Reply #29: It is two different mediums

and I probably do have difficulty thinking outside the box. Sometimes one has to make a judgment and for me they are not musicians. Are they artists- time will tell. It is interesting that in later years Jerry became a rather good artist on canvas. Having watched someone over the years do the every day drudgery of singing scales I grew great respect for the artist. My mom always said that Frank Sinatra stopped practicing because he lost his range. She had taken singing lessons for many years. If you've gone to the recent Phil shows you have probably noticed that Phil is singing better that ever and I heard he has been taking singing lessons. I am probably out of my league discussing this topic but I just don't think the majority of these people are musicians.
