Thread Name: Ormstown Branches and Roots Festival (Quebec)
Subject: RE: Folklore: Branches and Roots Festival
Your the third musician who has made contact and said they would play for nothing. Although musicians do contribute to the greatest part of the expenses, they deserve every penny. I am getting tremendous support from musicians who have also said they want to help if possible. I know I told you Peace but for those who don't know the first year all the musicians got $50 bucks. I used the line "Do it for the love of music and help get a good thing started". Penny Lang was our main star and as you know Canada's First Lady of Folk deserves a lot more than $50 bucks. But it is people like yourself and Penny and others who recognize a good thing and the importance of keeping a good thing going.
Thanks Bruce.
