Sigma Sound one of the large recording studios in the country is located in Philly- I've recorded there.
The Kimmel Center is a great place to go for frquent Jazz concerts.

Henryetta isn't exactly the kind of town that encourages free thinking and artistic expression. Know what I mean?

Thanks Reads... for your contribution to the music lovers fare, good range of talent there.
I dont think any of these artists came to our neck-of-the-woods though,
but good listening now we have utube!
Cheers Davejey 8)

The Hill Top Hoods came from Adelaide, dont know if they are known outside of Aus tho

I saw them at a Big Day Out before they were famous, and thought they sounded as s***ful then as they do now, hehe

I love Beauty School Drop out and Grease.

Diana Krall was born and raised here. I am sure there are others.

I love her.

You're just as good. IMHO

Edit: I was not being funny. I determine music I like by how it affects me emotionally. When music gives me goosebumps, it's good.

It Had To Be You = goosebumps = good

Right Said Fred are from East Grinstead.
