> I started playing the cello when I was ten. At one point, I considered making it my career, but I opted to go into graphic design instead. It's more of a hobby now; I don't get to practice much and I only play it at church. But it's something I really enjoy. Someday, I'd like to take lessons again and get better at it, and even play with a semi-professional orchestra or chamber group.

Woo hoo! Once again, I realise EVERYTHING a person needs can be found at RinkWorks. Now I'm looking forward more than ever to a get-together. I've had a score for a set of cello, harp and flute trios for ages now and nobody to play them with... if there's ever a RinkUnion I'll mail copies to you a couple of months beforehand, how about it?
Of course, this would probably only work if everyone else was coming *here*. Many airlines are relaxed on hand-luggage dimensions but a four and a half octave lever harp doesn't fit into any overhead compartment *I've* ever seen. :-)
