I will certainly give my props to Marshall Allen and the rest of the Arkestra, but tell me: when was the last time Wein or any of the mega-festival producers had Allen or the Arkestra on the program? I do rant about those who use the music like a disposable toothbrush-- clean up and throw away. I celebrate those whose commitment is to improve and advance the music. Hi, thanks for commenting.

Gone are the days where you see a musician ONLY at the festivals, whereby, the moneyflowers get to pick and chooose and control who gets to perform....the producer and the musician ARE the SAME. Our music gets out there, and we don't have to go anywhere....KEY. Oh well it looks as though music as we know it, is changing…the producer and the musician are “ONE”.
