[Perform-talk] Talent Show?

Wed Apr 27 02:31:02 UTC 2011

Hi.  Taking a stereo feed from the master bus on the mixer would not
be difficult.  I won't be attending this year due to other
commitments, however, if someone is going to do it and wants any tips,
you can write me off list.  I can also handle touching up and
compiling the recording if needed.

Cameron.
