I guess when I started this thread I intentionally asked a question open to more than one interpretation - "who" in the broad sense of all musicians in the world (Doc Watson, Taj Mahal, Eminem), and "who," as in you Mudcatters out there, would care to characterize themselves as "Traditional". All the answers generally seem to point out that we'll gladly label someone else traditional, but are not so sure about ourselves. Interesting.

Kingknut: You're lucky to live in a community with that kind of tradition. Here the best one can hope for is to have someone say (semi tongue-in-cheek), after you've finished a tune, "Sounded just like the record!"
