Most are broke.

I wonder if you might have an opportunity there as a part time talent
scout/impressario? How about a weekly or monthly event at the store
where you give people 10 minutes each to strut their best stuff?

We pretty much do that already. Every Thursday night we host an Open Mic
from 6pm to 10:30 or so.
Some performers are very, very good. Some should never quit their day
jobs. But, it's all for fun.

We also have hosted some mini-concerts for performers who are trying to take
a serious step towards
major recording contracts, etc. One young lady has just about made it.
Another is doing a concert
November 19th.

I don't charge people for this. I actually enjoy having them perform and I
get a kick out of recording them
live and running the sound system to try and make them sound as good as
possible. I get help from others
in the industry also who really have a passion for this this stuff. I
enjoy it, but I really am not a very good musician
so, I stick to the amps, mixers, PA systems, etc. I occasionally sit in
with a band either strumming a guitar or
trying to play the Hammond to add a little effect.

If you go to the shop's website and click on the "YouTube" logo, it will
take you to the shop's YouTube channel.
There you can view over 140 videos of various people performing on the shop
stage, most from Open Mic nights,
but some from mini-concerts. The video and audio varies from so-so to
halfway decent, depending on what
equipment I was using at the time and when it was done. The shop website

I really like Jerry Perry and his daughters video.

Not nearly as bad as MSNBC, or PBS. CNN lies by omission, the other two
just make it up as they go along...

And Fox is fair and balanced and would never "lie by omission"....right?

CNN may be the most balanced, based on the fact that both sides are
****ed at them. ;-)

CNN is corporate news. They're anything but in the middle. PBS and
BBC are closer to real news.

That simply reflects your views. I bet you think Rachel is fair and

No, but she's a ****load more intellectually honest than her
counterparts on the right.

I got tired of the noise and cut them all off.

Did you watch the Zbig interview from Morning Joe?

Rachel is an advocate, and she's just terrific. She is without question
the smartest woman on television.

That wasn't his question. Do you think she's fair and balanced?

Since I am fairly well-known "in these here parts" as a liberal and as a
supporter of trade unionism, I doubt the Wall Street protestors will be
breaking down my door.

-----------------------------------------------

That's an interesting comment Harry.

Does that mean that a conservative minded individual of similar personal
economic/financial status, but *not* a strong supporter
of trade unionism may be subject to Wall Street protestors at their door?

I know many "Social Democrats" who are very tight and protective of
their personal wealth, whatever it may be. I also know of
hard core Conservatives who routinely share what extra they may have
without hesitation to help others. I don't think that political
ideology dictates one's sense of responsibility to their fellow man,
despite the current myriad attempts to convince otherwise.

It's a personal, morality based choice .... not a politically derived
directive.

Pelushi has been on the outs with 0bama ever since 0bama's eat the rich
speech. So have a few other democrats, so much so 0bama couldn't get
his legislation past the democrats, forget the GOP and Tea Party.

I don't read or see much of "hard core Conservatives" engaging in
discussions or activities aimed at fulfilling "one's sense of
responsibility to their fellow man." I won't disagree that in times gone
by, pre-Reagan, many Republicans were involved in activities to help the
less fortunate. Nowadays, not so much.

Responsibility to fellow man means a hand up, not a hand out.

Fleabeggars want hand outs not hand ups.

Simple, let the fleabeggars soften up and get some humility, when they
are ready to fix their problems the problem will be solved.
