Post 2 - Music Ethnography of the Pub

For my music ethnography report, I choose to study the music culture of our university's own Pub. This may seem like a cop-out to some, but it actually has some (albeit small) significance in my life. Last year I performed "Time to Say Goodbye" there with my friend Lakshman during a Poetry Circus and it was a great experience. I would love to perform at the pub again some time, and if I can do it and get credit for school at the same time, it would be a win-win situation. But as far as the music culture of the Pub is concerned, I want to compare it with the music culture of the Comet Cafe, as well as the music cultures of other restaurants with live music and other universities' "Pubs." Ultimately, I want to see what makes our Pub's music unique. I am prepared to say, however, if research points to it, that there really is not much that sets our great Pub apart from other venues. But perhaps there is, and that is what I will try to discover. Maybe I'll at least get some good food out of it.
