So don't get old, Jeff! We need you to stay young!
Here in Tha Midwest there is no recognizable scene, so maybe it could start fresh with young enthusiasts. Problem is that even though things like youtube allow people to find any kind of music they want, young musicians seem to lack passion for instrumental music deeply rooted in a tradition of playing that predates the explosion of 'artiste' rock music which ended the era of the Wrecking Crew.
I think the sophistication of New Wave/Punk attitudes about music (which included despising the notion of rock musician as artiste and auteur, which readmits the traditional repertoire) is lost on the current generation.
