Hello folks, I'm back. In fact I never went away-----the group just seemed
to fade out. I'm still in touch with our organist friend Arthur La Mirande
whom I had the pleasure of meeting some years back when he did a recital in
Westminster Cathedral in London. Ann MacFarlane is still around over on the
Noteworthy Newsgroup. She is still teaching in South Africa but has had back
problems lately. For myself, I'm still plodding on copying out rare 19th
Century scores note by note into Noteworthy software to upload to the
Noteworthy Scriptorium at http://nwc-scriptorium.org
<http://nwc-scriptorium.org/> and, in MIDI format to the Classical Music
Archives www.classicalarchives.com <http://www.classicalarchives.com/> . My
favourite music website at present is that of the Joachim Raff Society,
which, apart from containing a complete catalogue of his works, a potted
biography , record reviews and where to obtain scores of his music, also
runs 2 forums: one devoted to Raff and another for other "unsung" composers.

Cheers,

John.
