Happy birthday to all, and I hope to know all of you better by next year!
And Nogrod, I'd like that chance, too (and thanks for the good wishes). Most people I know are music listeners, not performers or composers (which I appreciate as well), and the closest I come to deep musical discussion with them is when I show them some of my compositions in progress, and they ogle at the cool way the Sibelius program scrolls along, displaying the score while it's playing. Entertaining, but just not the same....
