Thanks Dick. My apologies for sharing in the drift.

One thing that has always puzzled me - there are complaints that there are not enough venues supporting traditional music (or even singer-songwriters for that matter), yet when there is something of interest to traditional music fans, they do not seem to come out.   To me it is like the old comment about not voting and then feelign the right to complain about the winner. If you are not participating, how do you expect things to change?
