Move, out of The Great Lakes State. My home state will always have a warm spot in my heart. We now call East Tennessee home. I may not have been born here, but I got here as soon as I could. I love it here, but my wife would go back to Michigan in a heartbeat. I explained to her that when we moved here, our income shot up about 16%. Michigan taxes my pension, Tennessee does not. Michigan has a State income tax, Tennessee does not. Property taxes in Michigan are 3 1/2 times what we pay here. Not to mention, it gets cold up there. It gets cold here too, but nothing like Michigan. I have seen snow in October and late April.I have been busy with my new band and we play all over East Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina and Kentucky. So, I have been MIA.I am back

Seeing ol' Stringbender could make a guy chipper even in the middle of a pandemic.

The friendly people. The weather. The proximity to my Children and Grandchildren. One lives in Georgia, the other lives in Michigan, but soon to relocate to Florida. I also love that there are an exceedingly abundance of excellent musicians. Especially guitarist. I love the relaxed lifestyle and the fact that after 42 years in the Auto Industry, I don't have to get up at 5:30 A.M. Mostly, I love The Smokie Mountains. I live less than a hour from Gatlinburg. 2 hours To Cleveland and less than a days druve from the ocean
