Thread Name: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006
Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006
Candice McCoy in San Diego has invited me to resubmit my invoice so as to be paid for product sold during the festival, does this mean another 45 days? It's much more pleasant to attend that festival as a spectator, if this is the way things are going to be handled I'll forego any further involvement as a performer. The amount of hassle after the fact is beginning to feel like earning the money twice, and is illegal in that I'm now laboring at below minimum wage. I sympathize with all the friends and volunteers who put so much effort into making all this happen,only to have their good works cicumvented by the ill will engendered by the unseen administators of the festival. I'd play it for free if I could just sell CD's, and I'd be happy to do it, I've always felt it to be a very important event.       Those of you who are able should plan to attend the Working Waterfront Festival imn New Bedford in late Sept. My friend Geno Leech will be out from Astoria,Knut Bell will be out from Seattle,come listen to performances by actual card carrying Sailors and fishermen, smell the bait and get a look at how these festivals should be done.
