I have what I think is a great idea for a new business but
before I make any final decision for myself I would like to
bounce it off some of you and find out what you think.

I have asked a few of my closest friends for their opinions
about it but I would really value the opinions of people that
don't know me because friends are more likely to say "Hey
that sounds great" just to keep from hurting a persons
feelings and I would really prefer honesty over friendship.

As a budding musician (bass player) I find it very difficult
to arrange time with other people to play, practice, learn,
and perfect my art. I came up with the idea of a coffee shop
where musicians could come in and meet for coffee and snacks
and share their music and ideas with other people. There would
be a small stage area where people could practice or
"jam" together or they could just do it solo or
along with a tape that they bring in to play along with.
Weekend evenings could be used for local musicians to show off
and talk with others and share experiences and advice and
maybe even set up some lessons for others.

The idea isn't perfected yet as you can tell but I think you
get the general idea of what I want and I even have a name for
the place. I would call it "A CUP FULL OF BLUES".

Any feedback of any kind would be very very welcome here.
