The recent thread about " your Town and the music" made me wonder about safe and unsafe places to go. My wife and I have travelled quite a bit since I retired and seldom thought much about the safety factor, and never had any trouble. Last week we were talking to a friend about our plans for the coming year and when I said we would be in Ireland,then Quebec and also drive around part of the U.S.A. he said " you had better watch yourself, because there are certain areas in a number of towns that may not be too safe, especially at night". Anyway, I know we have catters from all over so here is a list of places I hope to be in this year. If you have any info about safe areas or unsafe areas please respond. Some of these places we will stay in for a short time, others we just may look around for 1 or 2 days. We would like to hit some bars and/or clubs featuring folk music or even country music.

1 - Belfast N.Ireland - I know this town it's my home.
2 - Dublin - Heard it has changed for the worse.
3 - Quebec City, Canada
4 - Montreal, canada
5 - Detroit - Michigan
6 - Toledo - Ohio
7 - Dayton _ Ohio
8 - Nashville -Tennessee
9 - Memphis - Tennessee
10 - New Orleans LA
11 - Biloxi - Miss
12- Tallahasse - Fla
13 - Savannah - georgia
14 - Raleigh N.Carolina
15 - Richmond - Virginia
16 - Baltimore MD
17 - Washington - DC
18 - Wheeling. W.Virginia
19 - Buffalo. New York

It's possible we may stop in some small towns around these cities, rather than in the city itself.

Thanks
