So nice to hear of the wonderful time you had on your recent holiday, @Appleblossom. You sound very uplifted from it and your varied interactions. I can't make a more lengthy post at the moment, but I thoroughly enjoyed reading of the delights of your trip. Music is so powerful, isn't it? We can immerse ourselves in it and calm ourselves. A bass recorder, eh? Sounds delightful. Your neighbours must delight in your practice sessions. Anyway, it's great to see you back and feeling so good.
