[membership

[Carl Edlund Anderson]

Under my "if they are listed as a member in the album credits, then  
they're a member, even if non-audio-generating" rule, yup, these  
various dudes would be "members".  But I think it's reasonable to  
make a distinction between "audio-generating" and "non-audio- 
generating" members, even though they all be members of one kind or  
another.

Cheers,
Carl
