Steve...Bert, what a silly bee you have in your bonnet!!!...

Yes, I suppose so. What WAS I thinking? I actually had my hopes up that EFDSS were finally viewing folk music as a living, breathing tradition. But of course, that is not what they do; they preserve old songs.

Another thing that they do, for which they receive little credit, is, they rent their hall out to different folk organizations who probably would not be able to afford another venue. I have enjoyed many International Folk Dances (put on by SIFD) at CSH.
