Dear Editor:

Thanks to Anna Fritz for so eloquently expressing her frustrations with having to put so much energy into marketing, when her real calling is her work, her wonderful music. To some extent, this is the perennial angst of all artists, but in other ways it is a new phenomenon in cyberspace. I also much appreciated the epistle from the Friends of Color. I agree that we need to provide resources for this subgroup of Friends, just as we have for other subgroups. I remember, for example, when (for many years) the FGC Gathering had a women’s center, and how much that enriched my experience of the Gathering.
