🎸 Music City Roots
Working ecosystem, not mythology
Nashville earned the name Music City through repetition, not mythology. Music here developed as a working ecosystem, writers, players, singers, engineers, and publishers showing up daily to do a job.
What makes this place different isn't just output, but structure. Publishing houses, studios, unions, churches, and educational pipelines treated music as a trade. Genres overlapped because people overlapped.
