Probably why The Beatles were able to write their own music, after being challenged by Martin to "come up with good songs then".

I'm half English, and have family still there,,,hundreds of years, if not thousands going back. ("Gant", and other names of course, but don't know my blood related grandmother's maiden name.....long, but good story). I've been there twice as a kid and want to return to where I refer to as "Me motherland". One question, does the music scene for original bands exist as much as for cover bands, (Get more than open mic nights?) And do they except baby boomers as well as young bands, for performing, and for selling original CD's? (I know,,,,depends on if good or not, but in general I mean?

Thanks for the respectful exchanges here!
