That seems like a pretty closed-minded approach. If we were to apply that mindset to the SZ 10 yrs. ago, I doubt we would have the members we do have playing the technology-laden instruments they now have.
Please don't let this topic scare you; it's just going to be a part of our future whether we choose to participate or not.
As for "musicians playing," whether we know it, notice it or acknowledge it or not, there's a lot of "press PLAY" in almost every major musical venue today.
