I don't know, but it seems like everyone I've ever met from Kansas, even non-musicians, STILL seem to know the mandolin crowd there. A few years ago a had a few dates with a neighborhodd woman from Kansas, and it came out that she knew Jeff and Beth Dearinger, of Uptown Mandolin Quartet fame.
Today I had to make a work-related call to Kansas filmmaker Jeff Tamblyn, and just mentioned that I had a few friends there. He asked who I knew, so I said that because I was a mandolinist, I knew a mandolin quartet in Lawrence. He said "Oh, Jeff and Beth Dearinger. They're two of my best friends!" When I dropped the name of our beloved site owner, he said "Oh, sure, Scott's a great guy!"
Does EVERYONE in Kansas know these people? http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mandosmiley.gif
