Les, I share your thoughts on exactly what a "traditional" musician is. I don't, however, see exactly what the negative implications are with "revivalist" I admire players like you that play a cross-section of music, and I don't see a darn thing wrong with playing music that others have performed before, be it in the 50's 60's or whenever. Good music should be appreciated if it is performed well and with feeling. Did you ever get tired of listening to a whole evening of "singer-songwriter" stuff that was all new? I think sometimes the listener needs to have a sort of "auditory home base" where the familiar stuff gives us a baseline. I know I'm rambling...probably because my meds are out of balance!
