Subject: RE: The Concept of FREED Folkmusic
Look who's calling who "despicable leeches!!

". . . 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."

No, Conrad, they're both telling you the truth. Public funds amount to only a small subsidy, never enough to cover a whole event, and the organizers have to scramble to dig up contributions from elsewhere to supplement the public grant, otherwise it's not going to happen at all. NOBODY gets rich. In fact, people lose money. But they do it because they think the music is worthwhile.

Which, obviously, you do not!

And you can take your insults and shove them where the sun doesn't shine, Conrad. I've told you what the problem is, but you're too friggin' lazy and cheap to do anything about it. You want it all done for you, and for nothing!
