“A professional entertainer who allows himself to become known as a singer of folk songs is bound to have trouble with his conscience—provided, of course, that he possesses one.”

— Sam Hinton

As a performing artist, he will pride himself on timing and other techniques designed to keep the audience in his control [...] his respect for genuine folklore reminds him that these changes, and these techniques, may give the audience a false picture of folk music.

“A true Christian is one who has not only peace of conscience, but war within. He may be known by his warfare as well as by his peace.”

“Any entertainment professional, whenever he works without earning money, will condemn himself to do so forever. Anyone will think that his work has no value. His art and professionalism must be protected, appreciated and remunerated, in every place in the world.”

Prevale (1983) Italian DJ and producer

Original: Qualsiasi professionista dello spettacolo, ogni volta che lavora senza guadagnare soldi, si condannerà a farlo per sempre. Chiunque penserà che il suo lavoro non abbia alcun valore. La sua arte deve essere tutelata, apprezzata e remunerata, in ogni posto del mondo.
