Now that I'm back I compare every little thing to Nashville, it kind of sucks because I keep pissing off everyone I know. The attitude not just in the players but in the bars, clubs, people, etc. is just totally different in a city like Nashville where the average person still gives a damn about music, even if they weren't even musicians. I'm guessing most who live and play in the Phoenix area may know about the lack of passion people have in this city for music, it's quite depressing now that I have to compare it to a musical mecha such as nashville. I could be completely warped and wrong in my perception, but I feel it's unlikely. Anyone care to share any thoughts or perhaps other cities to check out and/or consider moving to? thanks.
First post on here too btw.

It won't be too much longer before the classic rock breaks out of the biker bars and AJ into the trailer parks and retirement communities, some of which actually pay well, but for now, they mostly want bebop. That's OK by me. I can pla a dinnertime jazz gig with a pianist, then go across town to rock until closing with the cover band, and come home with a few Benjamins, and a decent buzz from the free drinks.

So while I like living in AZ, music is tough for an all original act. I have been seriously considering learning a bunch of covers and joining up with a cover act just for the fun of playing out again.
