I'd like to think this idea is a little more than a fantasy but clearly very far from even near-reality. Let's keep putting more meat on this bone and at one point we may have something upon which to work.

Steve Parkes, I spent twenty years learning and practicing the art, science, and tactics of revolution and counter revolution. I also love the Caribbean. But I, too, in my old age, would favor a non-violent proces.

Barbara Shaw, the Farmington CT location has merit. It certainly is alot closer geographically and culturally to the folk epicenter than I am out here in rural Southeastern Oklahoma.

Here's a lillte more meat for the bone. Of course, we need the Pinewoods environment of learning & sharing. Perhaps we could raise money by hosting several "Learn From the Old Folkers" weeks each year. Imagine having the young-uns spending a week with the old masters (not that all of us (namely me) are 'masters') to carry on the folk process. Perhaps there may be some grant money available from NEA, NEH, or the Smithsonian!

And while I'm brainstorming, let me ask, "Where have those who've gone before us retired? Does anyone know if there already may be a nucleus of old folkers happily living in their own Fiddler's Green?" Let's keep this idea alive.
