Christchurch, a city of around 350,000 is the main city in the South Island of New Zealand -- despite all the recent earthquakes we have had - a fair chunk of the city is still standing !!

I am one of about half a dozen or so Steel players in the immediate area.

Here's St. John's on a rare sunny day. What you see is a natural harbour with a small narrows to the ocean, just over the hill in the left hand corner of the photo:

And here's what was lingering outside the harbour about a month ago:

In the foreground is Fort Amherst, with centuries-old British fort ruins still standing. This was Britain's first North American colony, settled over 600 years ago. And the Vikings were here long before that.

Hey Chris, I never had the chance to make it to NFLD yet but I am going to try soon! I have distant relatives living somewhere there.

I'm from Augsburg, Germany. Pedal Steel is very rare and I think I'm the only Pedal Steel (wannabe)Player in town. I only know two Steel Players in person and few others from the phone. Country music scene is also very small. But we have a nice music hall close to Augsburg which is called "Four Corners". There we can see Acts like Paul Overstreet, Terri Clark, Lucky Tubb, Dale Watson, Asleep at the wheel, Aaron Tippin etc...

I was born and raised in the Republic of Texas.

It wasn't until around 5th-6th grade that I learned that I was also a citizen of the United States.

Where were the photos taken, Gus ?
I went to Exeter University and remember the fond walks along the coast to Dawlish. It was all steam trains in those days. I guess that ages me.

I'm from England. Stoke-on-Trent to be exact and moved to Manchester, so not got too far yet! Hopefully coming out to Nashville this year! who knows might end up moving there one day haha.

England is looking a popular steel guitar destination though so far in this thread!
