Just before Christmas I got a voicemail from a lady with a posh voice

'Oh Hello Dahhhhling. Have you any idea where the smaller Christmas tree is ? I have turned the house upside-down searching for it. You wouldn't have it in your study would you ? I am frantic with worry' !!!

Needless to say it wasn't my wife !

FORUM EXISTENTIALISM: Is it just in my head or has overall Forum discussion (especially more serious and varied musical discussion) dwindled a lot recently? I miss clavicembalo. sad.gif


I miss clavi too sad.gif Discussion has slipped a bit recently, I feel. We're doing quite well in woodwind land, and the string area's still pretty active, and the organ forum seems to be doing well too. The event side has also snowballed. The forum that's seemed very quiet of late is GMF, and that's a shame.
....


I was just thinking that GMF seemed quiet, but I wasn't sure if it was because of the absence of the sort of threads that there were lots of right before Christmas and New Year. And that's the last I want to say about that...

I had a supply teacher for biology today-he was, in all honesty, a bit different-looking, and got the mick taken out of him pretty much from the moment he stepped through the door. However, he started talking to my friend and I about the course (he was a scientist/mathemitican himself) and when he spotted my music file on the desk, he started telling me about how he decided to learn piano as an adult, and how he'd just passed his grade 8 and was looking forward to starting to think about his diploma. He was a lovely, genuine, frankly fascinating man, and I think it's really sad that there was name-calling (in a sixth form class too!!) just because he looked a bit different.
