Are we losing members?
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.
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.

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

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

What a lovely refreshing posting...... I have a friend who collects pianolas - even they take some learning

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