I think this would be a good idea, particularly if someone all of us could endorse is selected. It would be good to get a list of previous grantees. That would give us a pretty good idea of the type candidate the panel appears to favor. I would think, of those you mention, that the Patons might fill the bill, because they are not only performers, but with their Legacy Records Company, they are encouraging the preservation and continuance of folk music by other performers.
