I believe this BB is viewed all over the world. I thought that it might be interesting (and fun!) to find out just how many individuals from cities/states or countries inside or outside of the U.S. that either just view or post periodically.
Please just city/state or country. (OK, some "boasting" points about where you live would be wonderful too!)
Even if your city/state or country is already listed, please add your name.
Thank you for your participation in this survey.
p.s. Thanks, Karl. I just love the edit function!

Better be careful of your word choice - to many readers of this BB *we in the U.S.* are in a "foreign" country.

Grantsville, Utah (Hey, I might as well join in on the fun!)
I changed the thread heading and some of the wording in my original post.
In case you're wondering where in the world is Grantsville, I'm located 50 miles west of Salt Lake City.
Ya know...this thread really could become very interesting and even fun!
Keep 'em coming!

104 acres of heaven in Center, Texas USA.
Or by some other names "Deep East Texas" or "The Pinny Woods". For those of you not fortunate enough to live in TEXAS, about 150 miles north of Houston.
The only internet I have is by satellite and the only phone is a land line no such thing as cell service out here. I have deer in my front yard and can shoot guns off my back porch.
The only drawback is there is not a lot of music around here unless you like country western. While I have nothing against country western music it does not lend itself to the clarinet. So it is mostly me and Jamey Aebersold Jazz play along books.
But I would not want to live anywhere else.

Pensacola, FL.
For a city/market this size, we're very lucky to have TWO community bands, an incredible symphony orchestra (go Peter Rubardt!), one of the fastest growing opera companies in the US, ballet, and numerous smaller ensembles/jazz bands. Great arts scene.... not to mention some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. That's my plug!

I am from the Thousand Oaks region in California. A fun fact is that we made the news a few times within the last 6 months: first a vintage plane crashed in the middle of US-101. then there was a shooting at a bar. and finally the Woolsey fire burned a lot of houses and hills in our region.

I had no idea that everybody was so spread out all over the world. I feel as though I've been on a world tour holiday, just from reading this thread. :-)

Well now, after a year in Buscerias on the Pacific coast of Mexico just north of Puerto Vallarta, I am now comfortably ensconced in Guadalajara, Mexico, working with Improving and helping my wife with her new loncheria, Tazon Orquidea. If you're ever nearby drop me a line!

Playing with a matching band at the moment, will rejoin concert band when covid subsides a bit. The time has allowed me to practice my C clarinet and flute. My Bb and Eb are tucked away at the moment.

Home to Gray Nicolls, manufacturer of world class cricket bats used in top international competitions.
(For you Americans (and I'm one to by birth), "Cricket" in this context refers not to an insect but a sport, whose rules may be concisely explained as follows:
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out. When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game.

After I left school I played in a social cricket team, wielding a Gray Nicholls at called "Thumper" due to my Lance Cairns like ability to whack out an over of 6's
I recall a game against forestry workers in Tokoroa where we ended up sleeping on the pitch and driving the hour home at 6am tge next morni g. What a game!
