How are you connected to the culture of your project?

For my project I am doing a research study on rising musicians in Nashville in contrast with already established musicians in Nashville. I have many connections with those of rising musicians because so many attend Belmont. I have many friends and friends of friends that are in bands or are singer/songwriters. Although, on the other hand, researching already established musicians is a little bit more difficult. I have to make more of an effort to get in touch with them because they are so hard to reach. I have been doing my best though by way of e-mailing them or talking to people who know people that know already established musicians. It is going to be difficult, but if I am able to get in contact with at least one musician, then that is all I will need.
