That's true, M. Ted. People, even before higher gas prices, were not willing to drive very far to see music. They would go further for an event, like a festival. The head of the fox valley folklore society humorously said that the new folk contracts for shows will read "a buck a song and gas money." Figuring costs sometimes, that's how it shapes up.
