RTP-area local music and culture

[grady <grady AT ibiblio.org>]

Agreed. I certainly don't have anything to gain from bickering with 
Glenn, regardless of who charges what for CDs & whatnot. However, as 
many many many people have pointed out over the years, I'm also nearly 
impossible to stop when it comes to arguing about shit like this.

Of course, so is he ;-)

So thanks. I'll shut up now, although I would like to point out that I'm 
pretty sure that I, at least, could disappear tomorrow and while I'm 
sure a few people (and 2 cats) would have their lives disrupted, life in 
general, and local music in particular, would carry on just fine. That's 
one of the many good things about this place -- people make bands & play 
music because they love it & because they can't seem to stop themselves, 
not because it's the popular thing to do, or because they're looking to 
curry favor with some group in particular, or make a million bucks. Not 
that I'd be much help on that front, either.
