Traditional singer as I said before ~ like buses, can recognise 'em when I see 'em

But also must be "source" singers to at least some extent, as Steve says, after they have been accepted as "traditional singers" ~ like Fred sung whatever they liked!

I agree, nigh impossible to define!

Those like me singing traditional songs, anon, music hall etc fit "traditionalist" singer definition better!

So too would be virtually anyone posting on this thread

Now where's me flippin' cookie
