It COULD be but I doubt it will be.

All of the above answers and concerns bother me. An independent radio station will not help. Who doesn't have XM radio these days? That doesn't help. We have and have had KSPY for a long time who DOES play local music and independent music from all around, it hasn't helped.

We DO have a ton of local musicians who play and write their own music - the venues are telling them they have to play more covers or they won't be booked. Some actually require so many covers per night or you don't get paid.

Schools still look at music as an extracurricular activity that will never be essential in the education of our children. And when they do have music, it's only in the form of a marching band to perform for the football team.

Arts & Entertainment as a whole severely lacks as useful in the eyes of most of Oklahoma City. I don't know how to change the attitude or create the support.

But I can tell you that those of us involved will not give up. We keep moving forward every day and will continue to challenge those who insist upon standing in our way.
