I think, Lizzie, that your previous posts indicate that you are closely tied to the "commercial" aspect of music. You seem to be a "fan," not a musician. Many of us here are musicians, and good musicians - who make music for the love of it and rarely for pay. We want to share music with others, and we want others to share musics with us - and most of all, we want to make music together.

"Free" festivals are something wonderful - musicians gather together to give their community a day or a weekend of music that people don't have to pay for. These are people who truly believe that the best things in life should be free.
