Got news for y'all. Folk clubs ain't dying out.

First, there are as many definitions of folk clubs as there are people.

Second, Dick Miles--with whom I have a love/hate affair unbeknownst to him--is correct. "if you are competing with open mics, promote the club, explain the advantages of the folk club, market the club, keep a data base, be positive."

I do disagree that explaining means much: it's better to show.

Folk clubs aren't dying, imo, folk singers are.
