I remember how difficult it was at Fox Hollow to get the crowd to understand what it was that they would hear, or would not hear. One year
they almost had riots. A bunch of teens had come expecting a rock concert and were drunk and disappointed, and very disrespectful to the performers. Bernstein held up an electric (lizard-warming) rock from a pet store, saying it was not an apropriate musical instrument for his festival, and it was all downhill from there.
Now we have the Old Songs Festival, where they have learned not to get too excited about splitting hairs, and we all have a good time.
