I really don't know what a "traditional musician" is. I've been playing "old songs" for thirty years and even the new ones that I learned then are "old" now!
The only factor that led me to learn, listen to, or buy any music was whether I liked it or could play it.
I quite often learned to play things I didn't like because there was something of educational merit but, once cracked, I moved on.
I know there are some strong "traditionalists" on this site but I've never really understood the criteria that a song must meet before it's considered appropriate.
Is there a specific date, before which, a song is considered "traditional"?
Will future generations therefore regard Eminems' music as "traditional"?
I'm sure there are modern writers of "traditional" music whose work is every bit as valid as a good song that has been passed down through generations and for me, the emphasis should rest solely on the word "good".
But here we're getting into personal taste.
