Is a musician an artist?

I'm too pooped to write my own blog entry on answering this question, but I contributed a fair amount to the discussion in comments over yonder at Pam's blog. Perhaps I'll write more about it later. Meantime, why don't you join in the fun?

ETA: There's a great discussion in the comments on that link above. Good enough that I don't feel that a follow-up post is particularly necessary!
