 Mark, is this question/topic proper?
 Young folk practice,play and do contests. Old geezers sit and dream and "remember when." I enjoy reading the many wondeful responses and advice which contributors of  this BB provide. But I sure would like to know what country they are sending their comments from. Little British kids used to collect locomotive engine types and numbers. Now maybe they collect web URL's for countries.  Is there a master list someplace?

 Yeah, Mark lives in Michigan and stops by for coffee every morning with me, here in Dallas, TX on his way to work in Austin, TX.
 
 NO!     just kidding. And, I don't say Y'all - grew up in the land of..................., I mean, southern CA - San Diego - but that was many, many moons ago.
 
 Bob A. - you really didn't say where you *are* (except maybe by reference to collecting British train ##'s - I still collect train models).

 Hi, Bob 'n' ev'ryone -
 Greetings from sunny Sacramento, CA !!!
 ...about two hours east of San Francisco, nine hours north of Los Angeles, roughly halfway between Mexico and Canada.
 Sacramento is pretty near the central part of the state. But  it is *not* the cultural center of anything.

 Dee,
 I live very close to Waverly, Ohio...  I live out in the hills I guess you could say, so it quicker for us to go to Waverly than in town...

 Hi,
 
 Rossford, OH which is one mile NW of the intersection of I80 and I 75. Just about in the middle of a lot of stuff and only 2 1/2 hours from BW & WW and 4 hours from IMS.
 
 I work in Nebraska (now one week per month in residence and the rest by email and phone). Also work in Chicago and Jacksonville, FL; visit twice each semester.

 Hank,
 
 For some reason I always pictured you in Nebraska most of the time. This is going to take some serious mental adjustment; my mental  Rolodex will now have to change from "Husker Hank" to "Buckeye Hank."
 
 Oh, and I'm in Corpus Christi, Texas, and am a PR guy with the local community college. Throughout the year I play in 4 different community groups and worry I'm turning my wife into a clarinet widow.

 For Beejay,
 
 efectively, Luis Rossi works here. He is Argentinian and he lives here since 1978 or 1979. He has played as 1st clarinet in both our Symphonic and Philarmonic Orchestras, our two main orchestras. Later he devote himself to the developpment of his clarinet and to his soloist career. I don't remember exactly when he begun the production of professional clarinets, around 1990. I bought my A clarinet new in 1996 and its serial number is 110.
 His workshop is in an ancient neighborhood near downtown in Santiago and I've visited it two or three times for minor repairments of my instrument.
 He is a very nice and kind people, I had many year ago a few lessons with him that helped me a lot, and I'm lucky to hear him from time to time when he gives concerts.

 Hi Sarah,
 
 Sorry, but two days ago I resurrected the original post (something like 140+ responses then) and since them another 60 to 70 people have responded. The original message was from 2001. With the new setup on the BB, a response to a message of almost any age will move that post to the top of the pile.

 Hello.  I live in Cottage Grove, which is a suburban of Saint Paul, Minnesota.  I am fortunate to live so close two metropolitan areas.  I am only 15 minutes from downtown Saint Paul, home of the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra and the Minnesota Opera Company.  Also, I am only 30 minutes from downtown Minneapolis, which is the home of the Minnesota Orchestra.  Also both cities offer major theaters, the Ordway in Saint Paul and the Orpheum and State Theaters in Minneapolis.  Both cities feature many major Broadway shows each year.   The Twin Cities also has more community theaters than anywhere else in the United States outside of New York City.

 248 entries? That's it? If this is going to be the longest thread ever on this board, someone has to resuscitate it. So, where are you from?
 
 [ Please. Don't be stupid. This thread is for poeple to put down where they live if they wish, not one where people make comments just to add to the length. It dosn't need resuscitation; indeed, if peope do it without adding new information I'll just end it now. ]
