Trying my best. The toughest part is the music theory, which can be somewhat difficult, but I'm sure newbie users will appreciate it! Can't say much about the b5media deal, since we're just starting out... and even after that, I don't think I'm at liberty to discuss that ;-). But I'll keep blogging, come what will. Woodshed, I totally agree with the idea of a contingency, but in India instruments are HORRIBLE. At least it's very hard to find proper stuff, and western classical instruments are very hard to find. Indian music is still very strong. All they're good at here is electronic stuff (keyboards, electric drums and guitars, etc.). Thanks Jason,

I've got it in my RSS reader, and I'm checking in with each new post. Hope that the b5 Media deal is working out--it's definitely the first of their offerings that has "spoken" to me (since I'm a classical music blogger myself). Thanks for the great posts! Hi Arjun,

If there is a terrorist alert you might find that passengers aren't allowed any hand-luggage whatsoever. If you're not prepared to check an instrument, you need a contingency plan (e.g. to hire or borrow when there). I tend to agree with you, Arjun.

A friend of mine is Swiss Oboe Champion and when we went from our home town to music camp (in the Swiss Alps), he was adjusting his reed for about 3 hours because the weather change had affected the pitch so much. I love the oboe, notably remembering the Oboe Conert by Mozart I was allowed to hear when I was still a kid. Did you have to uy a new oboe or could you repair the old one?

Sometimes my incredible sense of humor just ... well ... it isn't quite as incredible as I think! There was a time when -- was it the UK? I think maybe -- wouldn't allow even an oboe. That would, for me, mean no travel, as it meant for quite a number of orchestral musicians. Our instruments are just too darn fragile. (My oboe went from the seat in a car to the floor and was unplayable just from that!) Best- pm Well, I hope you know I was just kidding about the “great musician” thing … thus the smiley face.
