Jim, I was puzzled by your quote 'I am one of PRS members "great unwashed"' because I didn't remember using the phrase. Looking back now I see I did use the term "the unwashed" - but by this I meant 'the uninitiated,' - specifically, in this case, those who've not shown sufficient understanding of, interest in or knowledge of The Tradition to gain acceptance from those who feel they are the guardians of the same.

'Great Unwashed' usually has a totally different meaning, and not one I intended.
