I sing and play music all the time. If you don't know what words like "traditional" or "tradition" mean how can you talk about them.

If I say, "?????? is a great traditonal song." How could you even comment unless you had an opinion of what traditional means?

If I say "bluegrass" or "old-time" or "blues" or "jazz" it sure would be nice to have a general idea what these music genres mean. If you haven't thought about the definition, even thought you don't have to agree, then I don't think you can talk about them with any authority.

If I say, "The Legend of the Rebel Soldier" is a great bluegrass song, but is it traditional?" Do you know what bluegrass or tradtional mean?

Have an opinion, take a position!
