About 3 years ago, I was asked to perform at the Common Ground Country Fair in Litchfield Maine. The con man told me that some of my friends were doing it for free, and would I like to join them. Well...I approve of organic farming, so, I said "Sure, I'll do it as a benefit." After I got there, I found out that some of us were being paid, and some were not. That really pissed me off, so, I was in a foul mood when that ham fisted rock & roll idiot sound man did something that produced screeching feed back that was so loud, it caused me pain. I was behind the stage at the time, and it was very painful. One of the women performers was out front, and it was so painful that she was crying. I did my set anyway, because the fact that I had agreed to do it free hadn't changed. A year or so later, they called me and wanted to know if I wanted to audition to be on the program!!! God!! I do hate being treated like a tradesman, especially when they make more money than I do! Anyway, I'd hate to have their nerve in a tooth.
