Yep, that's exactly what I meant - stay involved with the music scene as you've been. Keep mingling with musicians and who knows what will happen.

I've had a similar experience being around other musicians. They all seem to be more than willing to discuss music with fellow musicians. At the open mic we go to regularly, I'll be sure to complement somebody who I thought sounded really good. It will inevitably turn into a conversation. I've NEVER been one to walk up to a stranger and initiate a conversation.

Pretty cool stuff.
