Now that's not a half bad idea. I know we've got a couple of folk around here that are in bands or have access to bands. Kirk comes to mind off hand, and I'm sure that Marillion could probably be convinced to donate a few should we decide to go that route.

But we'd need to talk to a tax person before unleashing that type of thing. I have no idea what would be involved.

I just work here.

Roger -Dot- Lee, I am not an accountant, lawyer, doctor, CVR transcription specialist, fireman, or race car driver, nor do I play one on TV.
Again, this is all "thought" fodder in hopes that we may hit upon some viable way to raise money and expand/

I know quite a few bands. I'm sure, if we made the case, we could get some studio demo or small promo track from some bands that could be compiled into a CD.

As for the "tax" situation... if it's a donation, is there any tax liability? A CD of tracks would be a "bonus". If this could be realized, AM would likely have to guarantee that the tracks would not be for sale. Artists contributing would do so as a way to promote their music as well as the music of others not contributing -- no special consideration.
