JWR - Here's another way to meet musicians - volunteer to provide music for a service at Unitarian Universalist church. UU churches usually welcome all kinds of music, and usually have many musicians as members. I met my band mates through a UU church, and I've met many other great musicians as part of my job scheduling volunteer musicians for the Sundays when the choir doesn't sing. New London has at least one UU church (All Souls). You might want to contact them and see where it leads. Good luck.
