Yes,

Some of us are still here. Thanks again Mark for all the guidance and
help; those databases are an amazing feat, and like the "Clarinet"
magazine, really do establish our instrument as having one of the best
set of media resources of any (ie."The Strad", the trombone "ITA
Journal", "The Double Reed" etc.).

I was at a concert of the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra last night, and the
star attraction was Michala Petri, the world-class recorder virtuoso.
For anyone like myself who started on this instrument, it's such an
inspiration to see someone take a soft-toned aerophone and hold an entire
hall spellbound with their easy virtuosity and committed musicianship;
her unaccompanied performance of "The BlockBird" was incredible (the
entire program was 2Oth century, and mostly Scandinavian stuff).
