I'm also a returning player having played oboe at school, then giving it up for around ten years only to rekindle my interest after hearing Heinz Holliger playing the Strauss concerto which led me to buying a Yamaha Custom and learning properly with a proper oboe teacher. I'm being asked to do more oboe playing than anything else so it seems - I'm a dance band bari sax player really! I used to play regularly at Hilsea Lido but hardly play sax anymore.

I was brought out of 'retirement' when asked if I would like to play bari on a CD of big band music written mostly by Simon D'Souza (one track out of the nine was written by someole else but arranged by Simon) which was great to get back playing with the band I had to pack in due to prohibitive fuel prices. Here's a link to the CD:
