[Dixielandjazz] Million dollar question

[Randy Fendrick]

You look at the festival lists in the American Rag or the Mississippi Rag
and you can almost take the line up from one and carbon copy it to the next.
It would seem that Festival organizers and band committees are not
interested in creativity but have become "bean counters" and are interested
in only the bottom line, how much they make.  While it is necessary to make
money, as festivals won't exist unless they do, it would seem to me that a
little more creativity could go into the hiring of bands.
