[FA Worldmusic] Soliciting Suggestions

[Robert Weisberg]

Hey Allison -

There is an organization that has done solar-powered concert or concert 
series on the east side of Lower Manhattan.  I know I saw Romashka there a 
couple of summers ago!  This is a presenter I guess, technically, not an 
artist.  But maybe of interest?

Can't recall the organization, but I can look into it if you're curious.

This is such a tricky topic though in this milieu.  Is it possible to tour 
green?  Maybe tour in a Prius?  That helps only a little...  Flying green 
- hmm.  Of course yes, the venues can be greener, the cd packs can use 
recycled materials, there's definitely that.  But there's still a lot of 
waste involved (frankly it's better in this regard to wean ourselves off 
physical cds).

I'm glad you want to have an APAP forum on this though - it will be very 
interesting.
