See - I really don't know which state most people live in! (Is this working? :-) Using my own ignorance to prove something?)

Naemanson, it is a bit annoying, (the idea of ME folks not liking NH folks because they believe NH folks don't like them.) but probably is harder on those who believe it than the oblivious "bad guys." It sounds like they're eliminating hearing and hearing about good music because of where it happens.

Folks familiar with this area see, as Bat Goddess stated, a wonderful mixture of talent from a very wide "local" area.
