Good? It's great...and free

Do you want to have an enriching night of good music for yourself and others? Do you find the might numbing pap played on the radio just short of a kid banging on a kitchen pot?

Well there are local sites where good music can be found at no or low cost. I should have put this together long ago, but see if anything grabs your interest.
