RTP-area local music and culture

[local506 AT gmail.com]

Lindsay, I haven't had a chance to respond to your email but I'll give
you a quickie reply here.  One thing I would suggest is start small
and work your way up. I think all of your ideas sound great, but might
be difficult to pull off initially (or you might spend a lot of your
time on details such as making a great live recording that ultimately
may not be as important as having great bands play.)

And, personally, I think the key with introducing people to local
bands is that they must see something great - so band selection is
very important.  If they see something that is mediocre, then it just
confirms their thoughts that local music isn't as good as national
acts, etc.

Of course, i don't think that will be too difficult because this town
is filled with great bands, albeit not every great band is a great
live act.
