You're correct Leo. That is why one of the founders of the WC Handy Fest broke his association away years ago. I was at the first one when Dizzy Gillespie was the headliner. Last year a one man play, this year a local boy dun' good. I am not slamming the artists, just think the committee, (with some of the same members for too many years) just do not understand what it takes to have a successful event. You can't be all things to all people over 4-5 counties. They should visit and interact with other festivals to find how they are successful and most of all do not put the $$ burden on the venue host. OK, I'll get off my soap box.
