Thread Name: Booking Folk Gigs. Some suggestions.
Subject: RE: Booking Folk Gigs. Some suggestions.
I gave it some thought, Rick, and my last suggestion was just silly. What ya gotta do is get in a time machine and go back to the days when folk clubs would give a break to talented buskers (bums) like me and Dylan, BEFORE they got discovered by the record companies, who for the most part discovered them in the clubs. Now the clubs "discover" the ones who are picked up by record companies. Think there is much hope for a guy who writes songs about Amadou Diallo under that system? Not bloody likely!
Cheers Larry
