Subject: RE: Its why people dont go to folk clubs....
leeneia, whenever I correspond with musician friends in the US - and they live everywhere from West Virginia to Oregon, from Baltimore to the Panhandle - and hear how far it can be to go to do anything, I thank my lucky stars that musically, at least, I'm in the UK.
A friend of mine in Willis Wharf, West VA, had to drive a round trip of 300 miles the other day - just to have his teeth checked! It's a big country, and I'm sure the opportunities for making music together can be limiting the further out you get from urban centres.
