I agree with folkiedave, Captain, that seems to be a dangerous statement to make, and judging what you feel is the economic status of the people on this board is unfair. And I do not feel my attitudes are contrived, snobbish or precious, or in fact, precocious, as I believe you meant to say. Nor does it matter if we are folk/traditional music lovers who work in an office job,or construction like Barry, or are musicians, scraping a living out of love for the music. Be thankful of EVERYONE who attends a festival, be thankful for EVERYONE who buys one of your own CD's Dick. I wouldn't think you would label class distinctions on a portion of your own potential audience Dick.
