	As much as I hate to say it, the Baltimore music scene is exactly 
that; weak and without talent. 

	The "good bands" you're talking about /are/ good bands...for 
/local/ bands. They're good compared to other bands in the area. They're 
even comparable to the "good" /local/ bands of the average city like 
Baltimore.

	But they're like "good" AA baseball...two steps away from even 
the -average- of the Big League bands, almost two steps behind the "good" 
bands in even the AAA cities like LA or New York. 

	Like most cities, the music scene here consists mostly of people 
and bands who are not /good enough/ to be in LA or New York(or such).
