Thread Name: So what is *Traditional* Folk Music?
Subject: RE: So what is 'TRADITIONAL' Folk Music ?
traditional

the word comes from the Latin - traditio - I hand over

In England it means, we all sing the songs Martin Carthy and The Watersons handed over to us, and the tunes of Ashley Hutchings.

If you parents handed over some different traditions, you're basically up shit creek and on a collision course with how things are.......
