NORTH CAROLINA has one of the neater state mottos around: Esse Quam Videri, To Be Rather Than To Seem. You might apply that motto to one of the Tar Heel State's brightest musical combos, Let's Active, whose principals are songwriter/singer/guitarist/producer Mitch Easter and bassist/singer Faye Hunter.
