Thread Name: The Concept of FREED Folkmusic
Subject: RE: The Concept of FREED Folkmusic
I'll tell you something else, Conrad - only a miniscule proportion of working rock musicians ever get to see a hotel swimming pool unless they're cleaning it. Or jazz musicians, or classical musicians. The chances of actually becoming rich through playing any sort of music are so ridiculously slim, that unless one is seriously deluded, the motivation has to be love of the music itself and the satisfaction of sharing its benefits and beauties with an audience. To accuse musicians of deliberately 'rationing' is deeply insulting.
