Thread Name: The Greatest Ever Music City?
Subject: RE: The Greatest Ever Music City?
Well, last night I would have said Dutch Flat, California, a little Gold rush town about two streets by three streets. We went to the "Divas of Dutch Flat" concert in the old dutch Flat school house last night - old-time music and banjo and clogging by Debby McClatchy, harp by Christine Bonner, and opera by Sussy Flanagan (the owner of the Dutch Flat Hotel). Afterwards, there was a reception in the hotel, with crab cakes, shrimp, wine, and other delectables.
Pretty classy for a town that size.

Of course, I had some pretty wonderful music experiences in Ashwell in Hertfordshire, and in a couple of places in Yorkshire.

I think the best music towns are the ones where people gather to make their own music.
