LOL... I'll never forget listening to a radio program on public radio & hearing Steve Goodman's City of New Orleans referred to as traditional. Kept control of the truck, but not my irate shouting... :)

Of course, there is a secret delight when a tune or song that hubby or I have written gets the "Where did you get that? Is it traditional?" response. And wouldn't it be just wonderful if it did get preserved in the tradition....
