Beverly Hills is the most musical city in America. Where does your town place?

The blog Music Machinery has posted a list of American cities based on how musical they are. Paul Lamere figured out the hometowns of 50,000 top U.S. musicians and sorted out how many came from each city. Then he figured out the ratio of musicians to 1000 people in that town.
