I never thought about it before, but that's so true, our genre chooses us. That's why so many great jazz musicians are from Detroit and Chicago.
I was in Detroit when it was "the" greatest city in this country for the working man. It seemed everybody drove a brand new car, dressed well and lived in a nice home.
Michael Moore, who's from that area, thought they were rich when he was a child; he always got what he wanted for Christmas and his family went on a vacation every year. His father worked on an assembly line, the same as other people in the Detroit area who enjoyed a high standard of living.
Len, I think I'll try to learn about Classical music, but I didn't like Bach.
