Guest - the thing is about a dreams. there comes a time to wake up. these people are very much looking out for themselves. look out for yourself, pal. If you're not part of the club by now, you probably never will be. Look at other sorts of music. Look at other countries in which to play. Other avenues for your talent. Listen to everything . try most things.

keep your eyes on the prize, which is, after all. a fulfilling and satisfying life. And do not be denied in this. Not by people obsessed with a style of folk music which alienates 98% of the folk in this country.
