Well Captain, everybody's said their bit. How important is the label traditional singer?

I take that its a label you aspire to, and some folks here don't want you to have it, cos you're something else - a product of the folk revival movement, say?

I think if you're emotionally committed to traditional material, you deserve the right to demarcate yourself from people like me who sing any old shit. I certainly wouldn't want to deny you that right.

As it does seem to offend some people though - perhaps you need to forge a new title for yourselves - traditionalistas perhaps
