I came real close to moving to Southern Florida and attending the Unv. of Miami graduate program in the mid 90's. It would seem like there would be a lot of work available there for musicians, and probably not as over saturated with players, say like Boston or New York.

I have been to New Orleans and the Gulf area a couple of times, the guys down there work a lot. Apparently all the real smoking players get picked up pretty quickly by touring acts, I wasn't real impressed with the guitar players I saw, except for this one blues band playing in a casino in Biloxi.
