Subject: RE: The Concept of FREED Folkmusic
Yes some people dont make money but lots of people do. No one should.

Don what does it have to do with anything.


Again I have never been tossed out of anywhere, my driving record is clean and I never play when anyone else is playing unless at an informal session. I dont think you can generalize from one report either.

The point is that there is a generally enforced teatotaling atmosphere enforced these days or strict moderation when it was never the case in the past.

Still does not excuse high beer prices just to weed out the crowd via economic discriminaiton.

Folk musicians should try to hold their sessions in inexpensive places not the most expensive. Dont think there is anything wrong with that suggestion.

I worked almost every weekend teaching in a very well known music venue in Baltimore without incident or any complaint from the management- they appreciated my appearance each week bringing new students and new people to the scene.
