Another great semi freed festival

Takoma Park Folk Festival
But even with volunteers and volunteer performers still so much on the web page about donors, and money, and organizations benefiting from donor money....its like a great socialist hand out event.
I really think that there are too many extras involved and that makes such an event hard to manage and repeat and a burden for the community.
Again with all our many drastic needs one would think there would be little grant money devoted to music. It can stand alone.
But at least the musicians donate time.
I always give credit where due.
But it must be consuming a large chunk of money just to gather and make music which requires none at all.
