I'd say New England has it all. Especially Northwestern Mass and Vermont. Lots of music happening, evrything from Jazz to Celtic and on a regular basis. In the town of Northampton there are so many music choices that it is almost over whleming. The weather is good, hot summers, with lots of gardening. Wonderful falls with colors too lovely to discribe, spring is like it should be here, and the winters are lovely as well with bright blue skys and crisp snow to crunch on as you walk..
