The furthest West we will be is St, Louis this coming Memorial Day weekend.

The furthest South is Key West.

Ironically, I used to live in Clarksville, TN/Hopkins (?), KY. on Ft. Campbell. I was a lot closer then, that's for sure. I used to drive through Louisville (if I am remembering correctly) on my way back to this area for trips and gigs.

I would have to completely agree with your assessment of rhe east coast. It is very supportive of folk music, and other forms of theater and the arts.

Let us know when you'll be in NJ. Much of NJ isn't *too* far! I'd love to come up and see you if it's doable.
