It's a fine time to be a Nashvillian. On Friday, Leadership Music announced that its 20th Class will include Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple Computers. Just 24 hours earlier, the National Endowment for the Arts reported (pdf page 15) that Nashville has a higher percentage of musicians in its population than any other U.S. city. In fact, in the Musician category Nashville's lead over Lawrence, Kan., is a hair wider than LA's advantage in actors over No. 2 New York City. Leadership Music chief Kira Florita told us Friday the Woz doesn't want special treatment, perhaps explaining the soft Friday-afternoon release of LM's latest class of 53.
