Yes Mike, we are on the same wavelength. I look towards Nashville because I write and care about country music, that's been the major genre in my life, and I want to support a community that is not about money and open Internationally.

I care a lot about Jazz too, and love New York for that. Reading the old Bird and Miles biographies was great, and I love the fact that the city got the crime cleaned up in the 90ies.

Love Blues music too, love Memphis and Chicago. Hate to hear how Memphis has turned out.

Not sure about what the L.A. scene is about anymore, but I love Tom Petty and Lee Ritenour!

The US is the musical Klondike for any musician and songwriter. If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere.
