Seems a little naïve of some to assume there is always a "scene".

Apparently many have failed to pay attention to the reality of the music business.
The reality is that it doesn't exist in the way it had before.

In LA right now the "scene" is called TV/Film licensing.
Music supervisors are the new A&R firms.

The conversations that I hear everyday are not "Can we get a record deal?" but instead "Can we get this song placed?"
I've been very fortunate to make a living in TV/film.

Get with it people.

Doesn't matter where you are.
Though as it is now, if you aren't in LA you may as well be in the middle of nowhere.

If you want to be a dairy farmer then move to Wisconsin.
