Not at all, I totally agree. It's all art and it's all movement. Bands are
terribly difficult to hold together and keep dynamic. I've always been an
ensemble player so I know the band thing well. I was just saying that if it
moves people (physically, spiritually or emotionally) the manner in which it
was created is irrelevant.
General perhaps but these debates always seem to lose sight of that.
