Something I doubt the people at my mother in law's Baptist church would appreciate, but you won't find horns there either, any song that uses anything but a piano, an organ, and maybe a guitar is the devil's music, you know.... ....in the long run, I think it's people who cross the lines who make the breakthroughs, and even a bad composer is a composer...forgotten quickly, I imagine, but a composer still.
