What a timely thread. We just had the Fairbanks Winter Folk Festival this week end. I didn't get to see much of it but the part that I view was great musically but entertaining it was not. I spent the afternoon watching others perform on a the "big" stage. It's a stage where they schedule as many performers as possible for the day and evening. As I watched I could only think, "I wish they could enjoy what they are doing". Of the first 7 performers (single and groups), only one man seem to enjoy himself. They were all very talented and had spent many hours rehearsing. It just didn't come from the heart. The evening is usually the better groups. I'm not sure how it went, I had other obligations to take care of.
We need to have fun in life.   bet
