Thread Name: The Concept of FREED Folkmusic
Subject: RE: The Concept of FREED Folkmusic
I dont mind personal attack its just not "good form" but whine on if you must.
I admit that although I have many many tunes I am not yet skilled at playing ensemble style. Professional musicians keep telling me the way to learn is to take your whistle and join in. I dont do this often. I can make a long list of very strange and generally inappropriate things that well known folk musicians have done in my presence and they go beyond drink and legal entertainments. I have spent nights eating small hamburgers at the crystal in Knoxville tennessee with totally inappropriate and innebriated well known folk musicians who interrupted each other and every one else in the place.....I guess its not your crowd. But don't rule it out if you still have the energy. People get old soon enough. But then I said that this is not the place.

Hey start a thread- the time you saw a folk musician named___ drunk and disorderly- it will grow quickly. Remember we dont all have to be tea totalers or sane or well behaved. We just tolerate them
