    Congratulations all. I trust that our local government would consider the performance arts as a strong candidate for a third ( or fourth) pillar of our economy. Why should we continue to pay regional artist tens of thousands of dollars for their services when we have some of the best in the industry. An A1 government owned recording studio would be a welcomed start where evolving artists can utilize to perfect their talent would be a great start. If utilized properly it can work. Prisoners at HMP were trying a thing with very limited resources and were doing well until hurricanes. Lots of talented folk who will welcome the help are at that place.
