I live in Northern California (SF Bay Area)...originally from Michigan but moved to California in 1970. I had Martin baritone in college and really liked it. I switched to guitar after the folk scene took off in the mid-60s, and I don't know what happened to that baritone.
On my birthday in February I impulsively purchased a mahogany Pono from Gryphon Strings in Palo Alto. Since then the impulse has continued and I've added a few more baritones. I play around at writing songs (usually corny love songs) and sometimes perform them at the West Coast Songwriters open mike at the Freight and Salvage Coffee House in Berkeley.
I also started ukulele lessons with Steven Strauss, a fine musician and teacher. He can be seen on YouTube. I'd like to learn old swing music.
