Dear David F.,

Thank you so much for all the feedback.
Too bad you cannot speak for the majority of inmates, but we should look again at incorporating longer classical pieces in our concerts.

I can very much understand your feelings about Christmas:
I don't feel any attraction to it either, but when we play we just want to serve the residents and make them smile, and they seem to like it, they even sing along, some with tears. It may interest you that we included Maoz Tsur in our Christmas program the last two years.

Hi folks,

Have been browsing for a while, and quite pleased to see so many of my old pals still here.

David, what a heartfelt post from you - great thread!

Might pop in from time to time.

P,S. SteeleRedux - I'm reading Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari at the moment. Excellent book!

Hi Poirot,

Welcome back!

I gave a shout when I saw your name come up on the forum
again. We need you so I hope you'll keep posting more
often. You've been missed greatly. How have you been?

Hi Foxy,

I have been very well, thanks for enquiring :)

I'm working as an historical researcher for an author, so that has been fantastic.

At present, my head is filled most days going up through the Sinai and Palestine (as it was then known) in 1916/1917 with the Australian Light Horse.

Very fortunate to find this kind of work.

Hi Poirot,

Sounds like interesting work and rewarding work.

I've had my recent work accepted for publishing.
A collection of short stories. So life is satisfying
at the moment.

That's great!

What an achievement.

Congratulations.

When's it due to be published?
