hey smokey I as a traditional player playing as part of my life do not envy pros they are despicable leeches. (most of the time except for those exceptions cited by Don)

Ok the story thus far.....organizers say they take public funds and proceeds and spend it all on musicians and set up. Musicians claim to not make money at all hardly. Which is wrong...probably both...

Ok why worry about free folk if your not making much anyway....

Don thanks for once again bringing in the exceptions! You have not given us anything or way to improve have you. Exploitation of volunteers and hero worship and limiting accessibility is ok then for you.
