Thread Name: The Concept of FREED Folkmusic
Subject: RE: The Concept of FREED Folkmusic
Financial discrimination is still discrimination.

Discrimination against people who are not brilliant performers is still discrimination.

If folklorist collectors waited till they found excellent performers they would have collected nothing.

Had they waited for amplification to perform there would have been no performances.

Limiting folk music is not good.

Removing all bariers will create much more demand through direct unobstructed participation.

You dont need grant funding you need demand creation.
