This has been such a fun thread to read! I definately want to go play at Judy's!!

dwditty, I appreciate your sentiments about instruments finding their way to where need to be. I have to accept that theory for all the sheet music, tapes, records, etc. that have (sob, sniffle...) passed through my hands, as well. How exciting to hear someone mention Jonathan Edwards' name (aside from in reference to the song Sunshine)!

As for me, I mainly enjoy the company of my silver flute and family of recorders (from sopranino to tenor) in the context of playing celtic music and sea shanties.
