Talk:Live house

Improving breadth of information
Currently this article holds very little information about Live Houses. It mentions the history, but otherwise is very sparse. I wanted to add some more information that I believe might answer questions users might have when searching for Live Houses. Some questions I believe people might have that are worth exploring are -what kind of people go to live houses? -how do they make their money? -what kind of music do they play? -are they always open? How do they ensure they always have bands to play? -do they exist in other countries or is it mostly a japanse thing? -how do bands become employed? -what role does a livehouse have on the individuals playing, the surrounding neighborhoods, and the music scene in the area?

Perhaps not all of these need to be explored but I think adding some will really flesh out the page and help provide information regular people might be looking for. Currently, any interested in music history and this specific niche therein will likely enjoy what has been presented but I think there are a lot of areas worth talking about that simply haven't been. Some sources I think would be worth using I am currently researching but any further suggestions about what information should be added or sources worth looking into I would definitely appreciate.
