[Dixielandjazz] Pro musicians

[John Farrell]

Why is it so important to some listmates to differentiate between
"professional" (whatever that may mean) musicians and the others? Does
something crucial hang on it? Do the inhabitants of the "pro" camp consider
themselves to be more accomplished musicians because of their perceived
status? Perhaps it is a superiority thing, this thread seems rather
pointless to me.
