I need a vacation, I need suggestions

I have a good friend who lives in Nashville. He claims that there is more live music per square mile than anyplace else on earth. And, as was noted above, it's not just country music. The abundance of recording studios insures a wide variety of styles comin' through town. Plenty of hotels, nightspots, and just a few hours away; DOLLYWOOD!

Hmmm, I always thought that Austin had dibs on that claim. When I went there, I remember live music everywhere. Even the most obscure and generic looking restaurants had bandstands up front.

Another great (and often overlooked) town for live music is Minneapolis.
