I bought this guitar in December of 2011, and it stayed in its case at my brother's house in southern Oregon until he sent it to me in March of this year when I was living in Florida. I have taken it out of the case three or f...

Any Forum members in the Roswell, NM, area?

G'day, fellow Forumites,
I'm currently spending a fair amount of time in Roswell, New Mexico, and am wondering if any Forumites are located in this area? Looks like I'll be for a while, so I figured I'd check around to see if there are any steelers about...Thanks!

Our Steel Brothers in New Zealand

Fellow Forumites, I have heard that Christchurch, New Zealand has gotten clobbered again by another earthquake...has anyone heard from Paddy Long or Ivan Posa, or any of the other steelers in that area? Let's all say a prayer for them and hope all's OK.
