Thread Name: The Concept of FREED Folkmusic
Subject: RE: The Concept of FREED Folkmusic
Never said anyone is getting any particular amount of money but festivals are run with the profit in mind otherwise why doe they charge money.....

Yes there are a very few free festivals around congratulations

If you volunteer so that someone else can make money you are stupid. Again what other institution or industry does that. It is abuse.

You dont need a pa for small groups. For centuries folk music did very well without it. You are simply addicted to electric technology.

Small stages 30 or more set up many of them....

Just because people pay for something doesnt mean its a good thing. It just means that they either have too much money or are stupid.

People pay money for drugs too that does not make it good.

Look folks in urban areas people have no trouble dealing with a lack of restrooms. In the USA here in baltimore not a single light rail stop has bathrooms, the entire dc metro is bathroom less. Yet people function. Get over it.

Anyway why cant he port o pot guy be as dedicated to folk music as the others? Its only a few days out of the year.

All volunteer or no volunteer. Simple.
