I'm in south central NJ exit 7 is about 10 miles north. I live in Browns Mills south of Ft Dix/McGuire AFB and right where the Pine Barrens start. The USAF sent me here in 1990 and just didn't leave. I worked at Walson Hospital/McGuire clinic for the last 12 years of my 27 years in the USAF. This is my home now but I consider Northern Ca as where I grew up even though my father was in the USAF and I've lived many places. My grandparents had a chicken farm in Sonoma Ca. One of the music stores I work for is in Trenton and the other is in Fairless Hills Pa.

Langford, have you been to Solo Guitars in town (before the lockdown)? That place looks like a lot of fun.

Spent my first 21 years of life growing up in Southern Utah. Lived in a very small town of about 1,000 people. My secondary school (grades 7 through 12) consisted of a student body of 432 students. My graduating class was 57 students.
One of the really great aspects of this situation is kids are able to participate in just about anything they want to participate in. You want to be on the baseball team, football team, golf team, track team, the band, the choir, school play … you bet, you are in.
That could be part of what it was that instilled in me the realization that even though I was not sure how good I might be at something, there is no reason to not try.
From there I spent 10 years in Southern California. Those ten years taught me what it took to be comfortable in my own skin out in the big old World on my own. And what it took to be successful in that same World.
And now the past 31 years in Las Vegas Nevada.

As stated below I’m in the West of Scotland. Glasgow is the nearest place you’ll have heard of but my own patch is in the not particularly beautiful and mystical countryside of North Ayrshire.
I’ve lived in 4 different places within the area since 1967. It’s very convenient to commute to Glasgow and you can walk to the coast in 5 minutes.

southern Kentucky near Lake Cumberland. I'm retired band director/music teacher and bought a farm. i love to play guitar, but i ruptured a disk in my neck and now most of my left hand is numb. i can still play, but it doesn't feel good. oddly enough even though it's numb, when i press the strings, it burns and hurts like the dickens. Doc says not much hope. i'm back on the horns and play in several community bands and orchestra. i still have my guitars and synths though.

Peegoo 🏁 ... Solo Guitars makes its home in a light industrial area in one of the bedroom communities north of Toronto. I don't drive, so I've never been there. But I do know about them and have been interested their stuff for a while. I'm gonna by a kit one of these days... On a related note, I spent an afternoon a few years back at Eastwood Guitars with its founder Mike Robinson.

This is a great question to break the ice with people that I meet in my job as a Field Tech.
Myself, I was born in St. Joseph Mo and lived there through HS. After that tech school in KC, a few years in St. Louis area, then moved to Golden Co in 92.

Born in Wichita, Kansas but my address was actually RR1, Rosehill, Kansas. Raised in Wichita and lived here most of my life. My house is about 2 miles from the hospital where I was born. I have no plans to move until my demise when I’ll take up residence at Resthaven Cemetery where I already own my final resting place.
I did have a few years living in Richardson, TX, Oklahoma City, Aurora, CO, and Marietta, Georgia. But Wichita is always home.
