Places where public concerts are free (USA):

-Public Libraries
-Public Museums and Galleries
-Public Schools-all grades and grown ups are always invited
-Public Concerts in the City, State and National Parks
-Sunday church services (especially UUs)

Anyone think of any others? I have performed in many venues above and all had free admission AND I received a decent wage. I am NOT making Conrad's argument for him, tho.

Folk music is probably the most reasonably priced music that there is. I have no problem paying the prices for artists I want to hear. I wish all music was free, too. But then if ALL music was free I wouldn't get paid.
