Just a quick line to say hello to everyone. After playing banjo both as a pro and semi pro for nearly forty years, I have decided to fulfill a dream and learn the clarinet. I am really looking forward to my journey and enjoying these forums....joe

Hi Mike!...sorry about the delay in replying to your post on my clarinet thread, my dad passed and it kind of knocked me back a bit. Anyway mate, it's nice to have a guy with similar musical experience to talk with, your right, they don't say much on here...lol. Please keep in touch and let me know how your getting on mate. I'm just getting to grips with crossing to the high register using the register key....take care, joe.

Hi Joe,
I too have been occupied,
went away in our caravan, had a heart attack followed by a week in lancaster hospital and a a week in Blackpool hospital having a by pass operation,
but on the mend now
I had a spell on ukulele and then on guitar, but just got my Clarinet passion back this morning,
Sorry to hear about your dad
