I think this is a very good analogy of what may be happening, fellow East Tennessean. I don't know about the population being too large but it is definitely too soft.
Ha! Actually those are my instruments too... guitar, mandolin (out of practice), banjo, harmonica, hammer dulcimer (also a bit out of practice), and autoharp. I chose the banjo in my avatar name because it is the latest addition to my instruments, took it up about 2 years ago, and I play mostly clawhammer style.
Some friends and I have recently begun meeting at Lakeshore to play some, mostly Old Time, blues, and Americana.... let me know if you're interested.

Knoxville here, and you?
Same here. I see you're a banjo man... I get along ok with a mandolin and guitar. Can't see any way to PM on dot win or we could talk more.

I would love to get together and pick (pretty rusty too). If you know of any way to get in touch without getting doxxed, that would be great.
