John,

Didn't mean any offense. I was kind of making a joke. As a singer, instrumentals don't mean anything. They don't have any vocals. And you know what egotists we singers are.
I am with you and never write songs for trends or to nessasarily make money. I write songs to touch lives and interact with a community I am involved with. For the most part my writing involved songwriting lessons for others to interject process into their writing.
Getting cuts and making money is a byproduct we sometimes get out of writing but it is never the principal reason to write. So I do agree with you on the reasons and purposes for music and we do need both.
But for the purpose on this thread, instrumentals with no vocals don't represent me with a chance to do my thing. If you heard my intrumentals that I play on my guitar, without my vocals, you would be making one request. The Sounds of Silence.

MAB
