Thanks Brenda! Lassie is Scottish, Shelagh is Irish, Watkins is Welsh and I'm English! 
Sunday paperitis isn't fatal and there is a cure -- but you'll have to read the book to find out!

| Now you can say you're international, Shelagh.
Loved the photos, George. Thank you. Jenny said they made her homesick. Well, I felt the same way, and I haven’t even been there—at least not in this life.
If I get a chance while housesitting, I'll drop in. If not, see y'all in a couple of weeks.

Hi Brenda,
Usually I played flute and piccolo, but sometimes saxophone and even (under duress) a glockenspiel (which I think is German for "bloody heavy")!

| A flute and/or a sax? Totally different species, Pam. I played a clarinet, but in later years I also subbed on an alto and bass clarinet, but I didn't have to learn different fingering. Now I'm really impressed.
Have you, by any chance, heard of a march called Gloria? It's an old one.

| Welcome Brenda,
It is great to see you again!! I have been off-line for a bit, work and duty call, and sometimes the Internet isn't available everywhere.
Anyway, I am glad you are here. You always provides some of the best advice on other forums.

Well surprisingly, fingerings for flute and sax are very close, so it's not as tough as you'd think. The glock was another matter! I have heard Gloria - it shows up on TV once in a while too. We played a lot of them, some of which I can still play in my sleep!

| Hi Lynn! Thanks for the welcome and good words, altho judging from all your accomplishments, I doubt you need advice. I think I need to learn from you! You truly seem to live life fully.
You've heard Gloria, Pam? I haven't heard it since high school.
Funny, after all those years in band, I never realized a flute and sax keys were similar. I'd still shake my head over it, tho.

| Hi Ann. Welcome!
I just got in from today's jury duty. That's what I'm doing this week. I'd hoped to get excused because I'm so behind in everything, but somehow, the justice system didn't agree that I needed out. Oh well...
Good to see you here. Nice group of people.
