Thanks for sharing that information. It will help me in my planning for an art enterprise adventure that I am currently on. All the best to you and the CASH Music folk. You are an outstanding model. The future is truly the now thanks to the vision of people like you! Excellent! Thanks for sharing that information.

I think there are a lot of misperceptions of the 'non-profit' model. It could prove to be a hurdle that you even have to talk about it, ya know? Lots of baggage with the term. No one would ask you otherwise (if you were simply a for-profit biz). I can dig it. I think there are a lot of misperceptions of the ‘non-profit’ model.

We're talking to artists in the friends/family circle about involvement in that fundraiser/awareness drive — still working out details but as always the art is going to be the center of everything. You also make a compelling point about posting logos, etc. We actually did that early on (<a href="http://cashmusic.org/publicassets/" rel="nofollow">http://cashmusic.org/publicassets/</a>) but we should bring that back as a way of getting more into the hands of the public. All of our own (non-artist) writing/logos/etc are licensed under a CC-BY license, so they're very available. (And I totally remember that Fort Apache comp. Worked for Gary Smith as one of my first jobs in music...love it.) @ Jarl Salmela — Good ideas all around, and we’re thinking similar thoughts.

I note your reply to my last somewhat coherent comments and would like to work that thread into CASH awareness... Downloadable content along the lines of Kristin Hersh's Strange Angel program allows repeated access to "cloud based" music through continued verification via an e-mail identification. This is all well and good once you know the material exists. However, gaining that awareness requires a little more flash. Do you have plans for Apparel? My homespun L'~ (50 foot wave) t-shirts garner more curiosity and questions than you can imagine. (it's just cryptic enough) Post a Hi-Res image of the CASH logo. Let people use and distribute it freely... I'll place it in my email signature template... Getting press on vaporware is difficult. Perhaps CASH needs to create a press kit or compilation album with art and biographies of CASH artists and information regarding the mission statement. Maybe the artists could create a new exclusive piece that is available only on this compilation. The true fans would pay good money for a true piece of art err...marketing such as this thus raising funds. I recall the 4AD compilation "Lonely is an eyesore". The LP version included wonderful imagery and a bio on each of the artists...Also look at "This is Fort Apache". Same idea....Take these to a new LP/folio style format with an included disc and continue the revolution.. OK!..
