Hi, old beginner here in Vancouver
Hi all. It has been a while since I logged into the forum. So long that I'm introducing myself again. 
Hello!
Due to day-job pressures and general lack of discipline, my practice over the last two years has been reduced to a minimal level: meditation and flute making and a very limited amount of repertoire playing. But we just had another fantastic weekend workshop of flute making here and I suppose seeing all the old (old, ha!) faces inspired me to creep back onto the interwebs and see what was happening. Wonderful to see Brian and Ken still serving the community up such a wide and deep field for sharing.
Talk soon...

Welcome back man
We all have those ups and downs with busy schedules, myself included. It is amazing how Brian and Ken have consistently, minus the very brief hiatus, been able to stay on top of running this and controlling this wild pack of ours. Glad to see you back.

Re: Hi, old beginner here in Vancouver
Hi Darren, I wondered where you went. I feared you may have been one of those "fervor of the converted then disillusioned" that populate the forum. Glad to see you're back! Do you still have that groovy Koson 1.8?

Re: Hi, old beginner here in Vancouver
Your steady hand and nerdish quiet and pointed wit has been missed and sorely lacking around here.

And then what do you have?

Re: Hi, old beginner here in Vancouver
Hey thanks all, for the warm welcome. Brian, yes of course all flutes are well and accounted for -- their silent siren song got too loud to ignore. Airin, sure, we'll see if I can show up to more longtones practice...
