Nobody is ‘fine-tuning’ any line-ups. These clubs do not act like some sort of careful craftsman of fine music. They book what they can get, and typically they sit back and wait for the bands to come begging. Most clubs are, at best, the equivalent of a white-board calendar.

As for the writing… the opening paragraph makes no sense.
‘Most people… very large part… in some circles.’
Can you qualify things any more, and make it a bit more confusing?
Is it ‘most’ people? Or just a ‘large part’? Or isolated to ‘some circles’?
Wha?

and wtf is THIS (part of a larger run-on) sentence?
‘..the pride that they take in the things that make their town what it is…’
???

OK, enough criticizing the writing. The whole point (?) to this article… is… ? … to fill space?

Aside from the poor writing and being completely off the mark, WHAT IS THE POINT??? Was this an assigned story? Was this homework? Who sits down to write a vague puff-piece like this, and to what end??

This article reads like some kind of 12th grade writing project about a fantasy music scene that only exists in the mind of the writer. A pointless exercise. And glad to see the “editor” is really on top of things too. How about giving the kid some guidance, and maybe he’ll turn in something worth reading?

Just because Dayton is a small town, doesn’t mean you can’t aspire to ‘big city’ quality. This is a shame.
