whoops.... hit something wrong..

anyway...I had a friend FROM Philadelphia who moved to Wash DC temporarily and fell in love with the varied folk scene here, so when she went BACK to Philadelphia, she decided to join the Philly society...and was VERY disappointed, as she couldn't find people who wanted to 'sing'...she said all they did was plan the festival, DO the festival and re-hash the festival! Now this was 18-20 years ago, and I sincerely hope it has changed since then..*smile*

But we STILL have a huge variety of stuff going on here in the DC area, as can be seen at http://www.fsgw.org/

We 'think' we are the largest folk club in the country, but that is not a big deal...it's just that because the Library of Congress and Smithsonian Institution are here, it has supported a lot of knowlegable folkies and festivals in the area...
