Thread Name: Old Songs Festival 2002, back from
Subject: RE: BS: Back from Old Songs
Thanks Anglo! My tongue was firmly in cheek when I said I was highly insulted, I was merely trying to get the point across that you shouldn't make assumptions from ANY of the notes that were posted. I don't see a single post where people wished different acts were booked or didn't like the spirit of the festival. Naturally nothing is perfect and being such a strong festival, it can surely take some honest feedback. I am sure that the festival will continue being a highlight for the folk community WITHOUT having to change it's style.

If Old Songs went the route of Philly or even Clearwater you would see the festival come to an end. Andy Spence & her staff truly have a vision and their work deserves our gratitude and deep appreciation. Only 361 days until next year huh? Hardly seems worth the effort of unpacking!
