Thread Name: The Concept of FREED Folkmusic
Subject: RE: The Concept of FREED Folkmusic
Folk musicans and "greed" cannot be used in the same sentence, Conrad... Do you have any idea how little folkies are paid??? I mean, like a decent paying gig might pay $250... A festival gig, maybe twice that... Do the math... Ain't no folkies gettin' rich here...

BTW, there are plenty of workshops/camps out there where inexperienced folkies can spend a week with experienced folkies learning stuff... They aren't all that expensive and guess what??? The experience folkies ain't gettin' paid no big bucks either so inspite of yer insistence on puttin' "greed" with "folk musican", that dog don't hunt...
