I can't speak about much here except that I know a guy who is getting ready to move away from Arizona (moved there just over a year ago) and is heading for (you guessed it) Texas.
He's heading for Houston instead of Dallas though.
The one comment that sticks in my mind from my conversations with him related to trumpeting (because he is a trumpet player) is that there were gigs to be had, but since it has such a high number of retirees it seemed that the average age of the population was much older.
