I had to look up the origin of the quotation "If you build it, he will come" just last night, when I encountered it for the first time in Edwards and Westling's book The Space Elevator.

And I saw Field of Dreams before even coming to Iowa, a minor synchronicity/coincidence, but I can do much better: you probably don't think of Iowa as the music capital of the world. Nevertheless, several years before I knew I would ever live in Iowa, and long before I or any of my friends could name a single musician from Iowa, a friend of mine made a cassette tape for me with some favorite singer-songwriter tunes. My two favorites were "Poet Game" by Greg Brown, and "Over my Shoulder" by Dave Moore. Years later I moved to a city of about 50,000 people in Iowa. Guess where
both Greg Brown
and Dave Moore lived? At one point, I lived a block away from Greg Brown.
