Re: [Harp-L] death of live music?

[fjm <mktspot@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Where I live, southern Arizona, the club scene is alive and well.  There 
at least 10 live music venues within walking distance of my house.  None 
of them tolerate cover bands.  Lately I've been heartened by the focus 
on musicianship and the number of clubs supporting live music.  The 
people who stay all night then come up and talk to the band after the 
last set have all been young lately.  Subjectively I think the 90's were 
a lot worse.  I know my access to listening to live bands has greatly 
improved.  I do live in a large college town.  fjm
