Thread Name: The Concept of FREED Folkmusic
Subject: RE: The Concept of FREED Folkmusic
You must not listen to some of the most important singers from the tradition preserved on wax cylinders or tape. Believe me content and knowing the songs is far more important than quality.

You are just interested in show biz not folklore.

But you need to know it was my artcar and a few others that brought those thousands to the festival. Fifty pictures a minute. People posing with the car, babys held up to the car for pictures, women doing things with the hands. The inspiration of great fun. We have a good time glad to assist. We are sponsored by a gallery that does not sell art just displays it. Our aspect of the event is fueled only by donations we get a small mileage check that barely covers gas from the gallery owners and we are fed with donations from local businesses. I just other people would follow our example and ditch the profit for one day. I can do it. Cant be that hard.
