On the other hand....Picture this friends:

PBS FOLK MUSIC CONCERT, FEATURING:

Doc Watson
John Herald
Tony Trischka
Hazel Dickens
Cathy and Marcy
Jean Ritchie
Tom Paxton
Bill Staines
Jay Unger

Damn, what a show! Now wouldn't you stay home to watch THAT?

Now...Pan to a 1000 folks (of a certain age) in the audience.....follow their lips as they sing along to "Nottamun Town", "The Lone Pilgrim...."....Oops, they don't appear to know the words.....Hmmmmmmm, looks like they've never heard of any of these folk performers either.

Net result? 67.35 collected in pledges! Dubya would be thrilled.

Aww what the heck, let 'em have what's left of The Kingston Trio.

Cheers
