I've heard about the concrete sand thing too.
Hey, all I can say is that I've been using mason's sand for everything for about ten years now and I've never had a problem with any paver patio, or walk.
For driveway aprons, I set the edge pavers, (soldier course) in wet concrete at the street, the sides, (if there's no cobblestone or other border) and at the top of the apron to make a frame. I I then lay in about 4" to 6" of concrete, then set up a bedding layer of portland cement and mason's sand, (dry), and then I install the pavers as I normally would.
I used concrete sand once and I didn't really care for it and I went back to mason's sand.
Hey, it works, nobody complains and that's the bottom line.
