I'm new to this site, but not new to the traditional style of music. I love all kinds of music, but traditional music (in which I play) moves my soul. Traditional music gives me that uplifting I need to get through life situations we must face. There's nothing wrong with new music and music styles, but we can't forget the songs and hymns that paved the way for our parents and grandparents. This is like ignoring our history, our foreparents, our culture, and the foundation our families established which was built on faith and God's righteousness. So traditional means more to me than "the Old Songs", because these songs expresses feelings, real meanings, and tell a story. Some of these songs were created by our oppressed relatives suffering with civil rights issues, racism, and slavery. So when you hear those "old songs", remember it was those songs that helped our families get through those oppressing times, to allow us to be where we are today.
