RTP-area local music and culture

[James Hepler <jameshepler AT yahoo.com>]

Is there still a Carolina Union Production Services? 
They would be the ones to handle the live sound.

I think this is a great idea, and I think the Cabaret
would be an awesome place to do it.  But why not a
show a month?

One problem, though, is the passing out of the
recordings.  I think that you would have to deal with
some copyright issues there.  

Also, if you're going to get a band to play a free
show where no beer is going to be available, maybe a
$50 guarantee for the bands would be nice.

Just a few thoughts...
