Thank you so much. I see that you know how it feels to be in close contact with the artists.
Does your Folk Festival still lay ahead of you? I would like to see some impressions, too.
The commercialization ... I observed less visitors as the years before as the number of performers decreased. I think the city decided on a smaller budget as the artists must be payed at least for the traveling and hostage. For compensation through taxes the commercialization is probably not enough ... I wonder how the artists survive anyway. It must be a passion for them and they live for their art and the cheering audience.

I showed the videos yesterday at my hubbys birthday party and my brother and the other guests were in awe, too. We had such a nice time in the patio, at thirty degrees, friends & family & kids.

I like to build a bridge over the pond:-)
