I've made a bit of a career of this sort of thing.
I play in the Roach Twins Blues Band doing Blues on Bombard and GHB (not at the same time), and also in the Suns Of Arqa, that fuses Dub reggae with Indian classical Ragas.
I play a lot of non "Trad" tunes at sessions and in my Ceilidh Band.
The older I get the more I want to own MY tradition of music I got by means traditional to lots of people round here the Radio, Television, and Record Player. If "purists" don't approve, tough titty, I'm being honest to my roots music.
