Malcom - I saw Jim Moray the other week. He was superb, and used a lot of different techniques & approaches - including singing completely unacompanied. He'll be unruffled by any power cuts! He is not putting all his eggs in the techie basket, but he is using computer techniques to very good effect. Inspiring! As you say - it is not "the future" - but will hopefully form a part thereof.
Anyways - if you were doing it 25 years ago - does that make it traditional already? :>)
