Very cool! Thank you for doing this.

Been 20 years since I've been out here on the boards, too! Great the community is still going strong and it's nice to see some familiar names and friends out there. Looking forward to checking in once in a while.

Hey, Beth, sounds like you've been having a great time! Thanks for the postcard ... the boys posted it on the fridge :) We'll look forward to seeing you and Ben one of these days--at least the next time we head up to Seattle. And, we're looking forward to hearing more about your trip. Take care, Pau...

Whatever you decide on , rest assured, the congregation will LOVE it if they are anything like the foks at my church. I second this, at least in my experiences, too. Hail Mary Gentle Woman works well on an A Whistle. Good excuse to look for one, if you don't have one, yet. :D The book I mentioned e...

I once worked with a young man from India who thought the American tendency to avoid discussions about Religion and Politics rather odd. He said that where he was from, if they didn't talk about Religion or Politics they wouldn't have anything to talk about!

These are all great ideas! I'll have to make notes for future use, myself :) I don't have the opportunity to play with the choir as much anymore since our second son came along, but used to throw in a little whistle once in awhile rather than sing or play clarinet. One thing my wife and I would do w...

Very mournful. Very nice, Beth.

I, too, have to add my voice to others saying, "Don't get discouraged." If you enjoy the music you play, then it's worth the time to play it. If you play for others (even just your family) and they enjoy it, then once again it's worth the effort. It doesn't matter if you're a prodigy or al...

Ben,

What a cool little website! Where'd you find your graphics?

Paul.

Kind of similar feelings to an expectant father, but definitely not as reliant on the Postal Service! :smile: (Uh, just to clarify, expectant fathers aren't as reliant on the Postal Service ... at least, my two didn't arrive in the mail.) <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: clarinetwhistler ...

I'll try to send you a little e-mail tonight! Lots to catch up on

Later,

Paul.

Hey, Ben and Beth, sounds like an excellent idea! It would be a good chance to torture, I mean, TRY out my flute playing on other people besides my family (yeah, I'm branching out, and it is a lot of fun). Might be able to talk my brother, John, into it, too, though he's been a little busy lately (t...

Just count me in as yet another satisfied Hoover Whitecap owner! Definitely my favorite all around whistle. All of my whistles get playing time, each has their occasion of prominence, but if I had to pick just one and give away all the others I've decided that Whitecap would be the one to stay!

Hey, Music Theory class! Don't recall that being in the engineering curriculum ... does this mean you've given further thought to what you want to be when you grow up?

Seriously, I'm sure you'll really enjoy the music classes!

Sounds like a fun concert! I'm interested in seeing this new ornamentation, Beth. Practice up!
