I'm not disagreeing, but extending your thought.
If someone writes a song, they're a songwriter? Or a composer?
If someone writes an essay, they're a writer? Or a author?
If someone writes a poem, they're a poet?
Devils advocate; Does granting a title to someone, such as musician over instrument player, imply anything? What's the importance to the time, energy and effort devouted to a skill? Is this a matter of inside looking out, or outside looking in?
Just questions.
And PB, when it comes to nerves when playing aren't you suppose to imagine yourself naked or something like that?
I always have, and always will deal with nerves. It's about the expectations I have for myself, not what others have for me. Dealing with others is easy.
