Will you live perhaps in a good neck of the woods but there is more to the body than the neck
You have not read the songs in the song beuk!

The only public music that one can hear here is found in expensive places where one has to pay more than average for food and drink. Explained above. One can purchase a cd for the cost of almost every concert even house concerts.

To be concerned with the future and spread of folk music you must hold music events in the most accessible places, and combine performance with education. What is wrong with that? Making money is not required for folk processes to work.

If you have not left a song in a persons head or the means to find and learn it you have not put the folk processes to work. If you have locked anyone out of your performance for any reason- financial, cultural whatever you are simply being selfish and greedy.

At the expense of the spread of the music one to another freely.
