It's good to be back. Was here in 2008 and a couple of years ago. Reason for leaving? No idea.

You don't need any knowledge. All you need is listen to whatever gives you pleasure. IIRC, Beethoven, Mozart, Schubert and Chopin were among your favorites.

Quote from: Dave B on October 30, 2023, 08:51:32 AMI don't know. I never was more than a classical music novice, I guess. Reading some threads here is like studying Chinese.
I love classical music but I have a very rudimentary knowledge of it. Am a retired criminal law trial attorney inner-city Boston courts. So we came out here to southeast Missouri and I end up as one of two Guardians ad Litem in child abuse and neglect cases for the Missouri 24th Judicial Circuit. In court all the time. So my only exposure to classical music is here and listening at home.
But I'm not leaving this forum again!
So much for retiring.  But a big thank you from the heart for looking out for the best interests of children.  ❤️  That must be rough to hear their stories and try to figure out what's best for them and figuring out how to best fight for them.

And nice to have you back!  And we're all learners here...that's what life is for (in my opinion anyway).

All the best,

PD

We're glad to hear it - in a very real,
and legally-binding sense.  :P
