Thanks for your posting this thread Stew. I'll jump in here with some more thoughts:

The audience building and promotion is probably my greatest personal frustration. WE KNOW just how great these performers are ... that's why we book them. But sometimes it's like pulling teeth to get people to turn out for a live concert. And I well know the hours and hours of work performers must put into a concert, as well as the travel time and expenses.

I'm personally feeling a strong need to get back to my archiving ... I've haven't archived a tape in four months!

So ... I hope that the dedicated folkies in the Puget Sound region will read these comments and step up to the plate. CHEERS, bob nelson
