"You know, in rock, you're just there to sell beer. If you bring 100people into a club, the owner is like, go away. But a folk promotertakes you home, cooks you dinner, you hold his baby. I can't tell youhow many babies I've held. The folk community has a different kind ofrespect for people. And that's the same kind of respect we try to showto everyone."
