Hi Flora G. Sound advice. I was in an amateur belly dance troupe and the way everyone had a different agenda was incredible and did cause loads of disagreements and an eventual split! I think for me I want to make music for fun, for community gigs and also for recording and I want something flexible where we can dip in and out of it and have different groupings playing together. I play the flute in a community folk orchestra already which is wonderful and I'm working my way towards approaching people in the group but its harder than I thought! I LOVE singing in harmony in a small group so thats something also to work towards! I feel that if I keep putting out my intent something will come soon. My first venture outside the bathroom :-)
