Hi, my name is Charlie. My friend and I are very excited about starting 
a non-profit studio in the Dallas area. There are many local bands and 
starving artist in the area. Many of my friends are artist and can not 
seem to catch a break. The cost of recording is very high in the area 
and even some of the indy labels seem a little unfair. Our mission is 
simply to help these people to get a start and get off the ground. We 
would be focusing on recording demos and promoting these local bands 
that have real and raw talent. Greg would be the main person behind the 
studio. We have a small amount of money to help start it, and we are 
not crazy. We do understand the work we would have to put into our 
project. We are just now starting our research and putting a business 
plan togather. We would be totally non-profit and only employ two 
people, me and greg, we do not seek to gain, just to stay in business 
and make it posable for us to work there full time. We have a lot of 
ideas for posable donators. Like I stated above, we are very excited 
about this and also very passionate about art for art's sake. The music 
industry is very money oriented and we are not. These bands want people 
to hear there music but they can not afford to produce a record. Do you 
have any advise for us?
Thank you,
Charlie
