Where has everybody gone? This used to be such a nice forum, I used to look here every day.
Is it Facebook? But I find Facebook so unfriendly.

Hello Ed,
Yes, it has been quiet for some months, and I have sometimes not checked back for stretches of time to approve membership requests and catch up on activity. After my wife died last year, and the pandemic hit, my enthusiasm for music waned, and I did not play much of anything, Vietnamese or Chinese. At the moment, my erhu teacher is doing more calligraphy and painting than music, and the Chinese group is on hiatus. My Vietnamese teacher is moving to Florida, and that group has not been rehearsing or performing either. I am working on some Vietnamese tunes to perform on dan bau next year for Tet via Zoom, so I guess that is something, if not Chinese.
I have all of these instruments hanging on the wall that have been not touched much. It's hard to practice when there is no event to aim for.
Best wishes,
David

David - The lowered activity on the forum is certainly not the fault of yourself, on the contrary it is you who has kept it going all these years - I have congratulated you on this before. You are to be praised and thanked.
I have in mind that the changes are due to market forces of some kind rather than a problem with the forum itself.

Condolences and Best Wishes

I'm planing on returning to London and when I do plan to take up my erhu and tuition again. It's been so stressful working here in Monaco. See you around. Edcat7

Hi Edcat7
We must get together again sometime - but I'm still scared of COVID!
