We have lost far too many forumites this year, at far too quick a rate. There's always people who will arrive, and people who will go, in any musical organisation, but those going seem to be outstripping the arrivals at the moment.
All the best for the future, lilly763, if you're still reading.

I am for some reason an optimist - no idea why - make no mistake, I miss all those who have gone, but I think and hope that new people will join too. Maybe we may get a spate of new arrivals that outstrip the departures at some point.

The analogy I always think of is my concert band (23 years there and counting
). We go through periods of stability, periods of several departures, and periods of several arrivals, often over months. The forum has at the moment been going through a departure phase, and really has been since skylark and The Old Lady left in December last year. But I'm sure the tide will turn in time.

Sorry that lilly763 has deregistered; from some of her posts I think she was not having a very happy time at the moment, and I hope that passes, whether or not she decides to come back to the forum.

I do not get the music of Nielsen. It always sounds like a weird pastiche of things stuck together that don't combine well.

Oh dear I quite like Nielsen, I know and enjoy all the Symphonies 2 to 6, and also have some of his piano music. Many years ago sang his Choral work 'Springtime in Funen' also. Symphony No2 (The Four Temperaments) and No3 have been done in recent years by my daughters orchestra (Hertford S O)

And Sibelius. 
Vivaldi is the one I generally just don't like. (yet I enjoy Corelli and Purcell, and am increasingly liking Telemann).

That's interesting. Do you like Tchaikovsky and Delius?
To me, Nielsen is kind of a sort of a fusion between Sibelius, Tchaikovsky and Delius.
Edit: with a bit of Dvorak thrown in as well.

Like Dvorak. Don't know enough Delius to say.... Used to like Tchaikovsky but went off him after Radio 3 one year did a whole fortnight of Tchaikovsky in the lead-up to Christmas. I felt like I'd eaten too many sweets and just couldn't stomach any more after that.
I like all the ones mentioned so far ...
except Delius. Absolutely cannot abide.

I find it puzzling! I like Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Stravinsky so it isn't that I don't like a mixture of traditional tonality and quirky dissonances.
I just phoned a call centre, got the usual "calls may be recorded for administrative purposes" stuff. During the conversation, I had to give some credit card details.
And the man said "I am now stopping recording to protect your financial details", we did the credit card info and he said "And now I will start recording again".
Absolutely fine, but now I'm wondering how many companies have ever recorded my info...I kind of forget the 'calls may be recorded' bit

I assume that pretty much every call I make in any sort of official capacity is recorded and act accordingly....
Well, yes, I guess I always unthinkingly assume that - like when I've phoned up to pay someone, and I hear them say 'recorded or monitored'. It's just I've never put together the 'recorded and monitored' with 'reading out my credit card details' before.
Probably just means nobody actually was recording before, at least not until you turn in to a nasty customer and they press the 'record this moron' button

You can use Ace CD burner as explained here:

You can also use Nero as I discovered in the following statement:
Yes, Nero will do this, just use "Audio CD" mode and drag and drop the audio files you want to be converted.

Ordered some 2nd-hand organ music from Molyneux by mail order and the card from the postman popped through the door the other day saying that the package had been taken to the depot because it was too big to go through the letterbox. (Story of my life)
When it was collected today there, as plain as day at the bottom of the address label in letters the same size as the rest, was the legend "Leave on back doorstep".
Bah! Bet it's because they couldn't be bothered to walk a few yards down the drive.
