You are right Ruth, and in terms of funding, etc, in the US, it would probably all go to jazz, which seems to shrink more and more, but gets so much press and attention here in NY. That's no condemnation of the people involved, but I feel the pain of being a folk and world music fan mostly, who finds limited support of the music. Being in New York City helps of course, because there is an audience for just about everything here, but you just know it could be so much more.

So what's all this about the national lottery! (Just Kidding)
