That may be the way to go, Charlie Baum. We have many good musicians here but whether locals would be willing to pony up is another matter! Perhaps I'll talk to the Alaska Folk Festival board and see if they'd like to pursue the idea for the smaller size acts. We get many performers here who are on their way to tour farther north- but most of those are sponsored by the AFF and are booked in Centennial Hall or in a local church hall. In other words, the crowds are too large for even a large house. So maybe I'll have to rethink the local talent angle! Thanks for the quick response. Ebbie
