In folk music no one need pay anyone-= so then why should anyone "get it right" for someone else

totally irrelevant

you possess music you play music easy

The autonomous performer- no boday bothers me or should

if not the tradition can not function at all

and no the tradition can not die it is a bunch of principals processes and variables and relationships cant kill them but you can turn the volume way way down and persecute the people who arent good enough.

deny them stages, funding.....recognition and encouragement.....

you make them worse than slaves
