That ain't the way it was in the beginning. And that should not be the way it is now. I take it you are buying into the Folk Alliance definitions of the "folk business" as it stands in this new millenium where realities might produce the kinds of stresses that victimize you and that you exhibit. I'm sorry for you. If this, as you describe it, is actually the reality of these times, I'm sorry for that. Also, it makes me glad I'm too ill to be involved in the scene now. If you'd allow me, I suggest you slow down, breathe deep and get into a less political and nore people friendly scene.
