I agree. The music does need to take a back seat to the primary purpose, but if/when
we are able to have larger events, with people giving talks, perhaps letting them
fill in between speakers would be a good idea. I'm not sure I like the idea of a live
band band providing background music, especially if we don't know the acoustics of a
room that well.

FYI, another local band that's releasing stuff under Creative Commons: Jim's Big Ego
