Subject: RE: Trad vs. Singer-Songwriters at festivals
Can't have one without the other. When the different sorts of music rub along together it's good for all of them. Keeps this alive and alert.

If a new song can't stand up in the company of old songs, it's probably not too good a song. And if an old song which has proved itself through time can't stand up in front of new songs, it means it isn't being sung right.
