Subject: RE: Concert Attendance
Roger, In the town I live in, there is virtually nothing. We have an arts center that periodically tries to set something up, but it is usually such a disorganized shambles that few people have the strength to sit through an entire program. In some of the towns nearby there are places which have "open mic" nights, but these are little more than loud bars where college students go to drink beer and watch Monday Night Football. As for any continuous or semi-continuous venue for folk and/or trad music--there isn't any.. A few of us have discussed getting together and coming up with something on an informal basis, but we aren't convinced enough that it would be worth the effort to go beyond talking. Maybe some day... It's real discouraging.
