After a hiatus of about 40 years, I joined an adult band “Resa’s Pieces”. After speaking to Resa, she told me that I didn’t have to be very good (I was not – and still am not). The band wasn’t that advanced, and that I would pick up where I left off those long years ago. So I dusted off the flute and a few cobwebs in my musical brain, blew a few notes and headed out to the first practice. It was there that I experienced once again the wonderful expansive feeling of playing in a band. I just love being in a band again – actually I think I love it more than when I was a kid – now I’m practicing and playing because I want to, not because I have to! You know, playing an instrument is like riding a bike, you never forget how! A big thank you to Resa who never looses her cool with us – you’re great.
