[TPIN] Beginning of the End?

[Ellis Workman]

I played a lot in opera orchestra as an undergrad at IU
back in 60s. I always appreciated it and took it as a complimnt
when the conductors addressed the chorus and orchestra as "singers
and musicians". I don't think they intended to bifracate us into
separate (and by inference) mutually exclusive groups; but I
was always delighted to take it that way!
