      The regular contributors are mostly still there and there is a fairly healthy report of new members, but is the actual membership decreasing?
      No.
      It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

          Hello everyone.

          It must be almost three years since I last posted on here so I doubt if anyone actually remembers me. In that time I've moved house twice, taken early retirement, returned to work part time, been diagnosed with diabetes and realised just how hard it can be to learn the piano at my (relatively) advanced age.

          It's nice to be back but sad to see many once familiar names missing.

                  "...the isle is full of noises,
                  Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                  Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                  Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                      I remember the name - but is your abattoir different?

                      Many many welcomes back, StephenO.

                        I don’t expect you have acquired the taste for countertenor even after all this time?

                              Welcome back, StephenO! I asked after you in message 41 above back in October 2011. Please don't go away again!
