Guys,
I listen to your show on Jammin' 105.9FM in Austin, Texas.
After listening to your show this morning, I have a few deep-thought questions about Freddie's idea ?

1. What's in it for KiddLive ?
"Proceeds to benefit Kidd's Kids", maybe ?

2. Freddie is oh-so-talented and it was inevitable that he
would get this deal after your exposure.
Will KiddLive be perceived as taking advantage of
Freddie to get ratings and promote the show ?

3. I don't have an opinion either way, as I like Freddie's
music and was drawn to your website for the first time
after hearing him on your show,
But, perhaps we should think of other outside-the-box
ramifications of implementing Freddie's idea:
a.) Does this mean that other artists you find will
also want to follow in Freddie's path
and have you all play their music and help them
sell records in this way ?
b.) It is an different path than what is normally seen,
i.e. signing with a record company,
so, won't other artists and record companies
complain about you all doing this
non-traditional approach and impacting record
share ?
c.) Isn't this similar to American Idol in a way, in
that you all would be doing something
that is extremely non-traditional ? I reiterate,
it will create major waves in the industry.
d.) Will this make it uncomfortable for other
established artists to come to your studios and
sit down with KiddLive if you are actively engaged
in promoting Freddie on the show ?

4. If the decision is made to move forward with this idea
on KiddLive, we would have to do
a better job of planning out the Stages of
Implementation. The drive from upstate to Dallas
was exciting and daring, but there was no planned :
a) way to get back home.
b) discussion of what Freddie hoped to accomplish in
the big picture with the exposure.
c) Measure of success.

5. What are the risks/drawbacks to doing this ?

6. Why hasn't someone collaborated with and done this
before with a radio station ?

Just some food for thought...
