I agree with Andrew it is the old way of looking at it.
And there is a lot of positives to add to this approach and that world.

But what's funny is the newer way and alternate way has been going on for twenty years now already. What's the surprise?
Like I said one of my best friends and the guy who got me in the door was a dance music producer. I have not only tremendous respect for him personally but musically as well.

I learned alot from him and he is very MUSICAL. That's what so many people don't understand, "being musical" And it can have nothing to do with playing an instrument or singing or writing lyrics. All of those things is just so much the better.
His knowledge and skills were so impressive and his FEEL for music. "Being Musical" was easily relate-able for me.

I still feel the best music always came from and comes from a musician. But that is not the only way.

I just got a phone call from the drummer of my new instrumental up on the mp3 board, and he played it for a HUGE dance music producer. One who's worked with the biggest in the industry and he likes it ALOT.
I wonder if I would have looked down on my dance music producer friend back in the day would this have ever come to be? lol

Of course I didn't, look down I would never be so silly. If you truly love music you love all aspects of it, at least to some degree or another. I was humbled in that studio in a world I did not know, as I'm humbled everyday still now by my instruments and my health.

Use it all people!
