Are you serious?

Do you believe that the Regulative Principle of Worship governs what is acceptable in worship or not? If not, then we might as well be talking about two different subjects. If you do, then your question would be odd considering you are leading Corporate Singing in violation of God's Will if you do not believe He has commanded the assembly of His people to praise Him with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs.
Rich, I think what he is getting at is that he doesn't believe that the commands to sing in the New Testament are specifically commands for corporate singing, but can be interpreted broader than that and include both corporate singing, smaller-group singing (i.e. choirs), and solo singing.
