Sounds great, Dick. What does it mean? Same could be said for any kind of music. Please read the title of the thread. TRADITIONAL is capitalized. The question is what makes it TRADITIONAL as opposed to music in the folk style. Comments that say "like a flowing stream" make good lyrics, but do nothing to answer the question. Why isn't a song you have written in the folk style considered TRADITONAL? Answer that and you answer the question.
