A song is defined by the characteristic of having vocals. Is it possible for 4'33 to be defined as a song?

Yes, the vocals are simply sung "tacet".

So your post was in the key of B?

Wow - only just discovered this topic exists, though I know the subject came up elsewhere a couple of weeks ago.

I'm a bit of a musician shall we say - (qualification BMus [Tonmeister] University of Surrey). So a few instruments up my sleeve - piano, pipe organ, anything keyboardy, guitar, bass, drums, cello, tin whistles etc. Playing the organ for weddings and funerals is one of my specialities (I enjoy giving people a good send-off!)

Like the tractakid, I'm in the church band - so have a large 'audience' weekly.

Audience really isn't the right term! It isn't, or at least, shouldn't be a performance, therefore it's not an audience.

You appear to have a really wide range of talents. Are you a master of all those instruments, or do you play some better than others?

Also, what taste does everyone have when listening to music?

I agree- hence the quotes round the word!

Master of piano, keyboard and organ. Cello I stopped at grade 6. Others I'm slightly less skilled at - but I'll have a go at anything.

I'm at home with anything from Gregorian Chant thru Renaissance thru Baroque thru Classical thru Romantic thru Modern thru Pop. Plus world music, with a particular liking for Celtic!
