[NJARC] Here's an idea which may work for us: Raised $11, 314 ~ "Live at KRE" report

[Fred Carl]

Hello John,

  This looks great.  If it worked for them, how can we get it to work 
for us?  Do we have any or know any performers.  Could we use broadcasts 
of old radio stars form the NBHF?

Thank you,
Fred
