All but three Local Music CDs are checked out at the library.

Big thanks to Sound Warehouse and the Fayetteville Public Library who are instrumental in getting the new “Local Music” section going in the library’s CD collection.

Sound Warehouse donated the CDs and Fayetteville Public Library helped us make sure that $10 is being paid for each CD from a local artist. CEAG wants to set the model that artists should always be paid a fair rate for their work.

Laura Speer, director of library services, put the CDs out last week and already there are only three left out of the initial 17 in the collection. That sounds like success to me.

We hope to make the second set of 20 available in the coming week or so.

Also, we are looking for digital copies of photos you might have of bands and shows from Fayetteville’s past. This might be incorporated in the Fayetteville documentary film project. Also we need our local music scholars to step forward to help write a one-page document on That Fayetteville Sound.

This is all building toward a Aug. 28 show at the Fayetteville Public Library that will feature a number of local bands.
