Great Musicians are 'born' as powerful as they will ever get...they will NOT gain more tourism by waiting... This is completely different from writers or scientists, who get more powerful as your empire produces more culture or beakers.
As such, the time to use a musician is pretty much as soon as they are born...the only reasons to save them is to ensure a themeing bonus (Broadway, for example, needs three works from the same era...if you are only a few turns from entering a new era, you might wait until you do to make it easier to arrange this).

BTW, regarding internal food routes, as others have said, sending one creates food from nothing instead of taking it from one city and giving it to another... I.E. if X has 15 food and Y has 15 food...if X sends 4 food to Y....then Y has 19...and X still has 15!
