Since I was quoting from "musicians, singers and story
tellers" I took musician to mean instrumentalist in
that context. 

I started out in the SCA singing folk songs from the
British Isles accompanying myself on guitar or harp.
After taking a long break to raise my kids, I returned
to find a much more period emphasis. Since that time, 
I've done less singing and more instrumental type
stuff.  

As for composing, I've written a few songs, poems and
instrumental pieces but am not particularly prolific.
I seem to do my best work in my sleep and rarely
remember it on waking!
