Subject: RE: Can a pop song become traditional?
Hi, Allan.

Can't say I agree with your assessments for the Scottish Traditional Music Awards.

I'm not convinced by the links from you that I could access and I have serious doubts about the lasting potential of the music posted.

My bottom line is that a song/communication needs to connect with someone/audience in a meaningful way, which suggests that it should be a) meaningful b) linked to their life somehow and c) appropriate to future expectations.
