@georgeb Thanks, George. I am glad that once you passed through the worst of our grieving, you were able to get back into music - and it is remarkable how much joy it gives back to us. I'm 72 and thrilled to be starting on the violin and also on the opportunity to play with others (not so easy with flugelhorn, which is kind an outlier instrument - even my local community band would only take trumpet, not flugel). I love hearing your story and it helps to inspire me as I embark on this fiddling. My brother will be my first teacher and has already helped me to start. Thank goodness for music and music making. Blessings, Annie
