our folk music society has been finding dwindling audiences
at the performances we present and promote. we often wonder why.
one of our member's children said we should perform in a place
where they can drink and dance. or something to that effect...
as far as Dick Clark's American Bandstand goes i guess most of
our folk music would not get a high rating////
("i give it a 98, you can dance to it...")
We usually choose music with a message.
We will continue bringing performers to town,
in hopes that our efforts are appreciated.

your thread title is not likely to reveal the
essence of this discussion.
