While the population in this part of the US is fairly sparse (I live in the same area as Susan), there are several nearby musicians who play, bluegrass and old-timey music. I live approximately 15 miles from WYSIWYG and there are 9 musicians that I can think of off the top of my head, who play at the local coffee house and local festivals. In fact, the ratio of musicians to non-musicans in this neck of the woods is rather high. Sometimes you just have to look.
