FREE LITTLE LAKE HILL!!! Our house concerts are in jeopardy. Many thanks
for the outpouring of letters, signed petitions, posts to blogs and
letters to editors of newspapers.....If you haven't heard
that the City of Raleigh Board of Adjustments ruled 4-1 that we are a
'prima facie business' and limited to having only three (3) events per
calendar year. ---- keep on reading. We thank Larry
McBennet, the chair of the committee for understanding that the citation
against us was to be interpreted in the spirit of the
law rather than literally. ...house concerts are NOT a profit endeavor for the hosts! The ‘Complaint’ really wasn’t a ‘Complaint’ read more here and to read about the charges the city had against us and our rebuttal. Get the entire
story
here and please check in from time
to time to see how it's going! Songs have been written about the plight of house concerts. Here are two....I hope to garner more and if there are enough to produce a CD to help defray legal costs so that concerts can continue around the country we will keep you posted! Many thanks to Kathy Moser for sharing her song, Music Right Next Door to help the folks in O'Hara Pennsylvania who continue their struggle to host shows. Please check out her website to learn more about her and her passion for environmental and other issues. |
