Ebbie, while I've met a considerable number of American artists and musicians, I've also met many American tourists, and they come from many professions and states (though we do tend to naturally attract more New Englanders).

On the whole, I prefer the musicians - quite a few of the artists have New York Modernartsceneitis, a deadly disease that causes one to think One's Art Is As Important to the World as all the the rest of human invention. I blame Oldenberg (he of the giant plastic hamburger).
