I walked into a music store on the main drag in Nashville in 1972 picked up a guitar and started playing Twelve Stix by Gary Davis. A Mailman came in listened and then asked me where I was from. When I answered New York City he replied "I didn't know they played the same music we like up there".
My experience is that many of the guitar players down there know and can play a bit of everything and are familiar with more obscure stuff than you might expect. Just go on over to Gruhn's Guitars and ask. They'll know.
