He is taking a temporary sabbatical from the GMG, and enjoying watching Polo and listening to various music. He is planning to come back.

Very good.

Excellent news! If it's appropriate to do so please send my best wishes.

I still lament the departure of Dancing Divertimentian who is my Martinů compadre. I hope he's okay. I do hope that Peter (Moonfish) makes a reappearance. So many great members have come and gone.

A few days ago I checked in on the "Art-Music Forum" for the first time in ages and discovered that our dear cilgwyn has been very active there recently (the forum is otherwise quite "dead"). So at least we know he's alive and well! I wonder what led him to leave our far livelier forum? I should send him a PM....

Yes, do send him a PM and tell him that there are several members that miss his contributions and wished that he would come back. His departure was one of the oddest I've seen as there wasn't some kind of warning or he didn't alert any of us that he was leaving. One day I logged in and POOF! he was gone.

Thank you all very much for your inquiries. This has probably been the longest period in my life that I have not listened to music on a continual basis. The other interesting aspect of this abstention is that I had not refrained in any way from thinking about music. Like most people here music is an inherent part of my existence; if I am not listening to it then I am thinking about it.

A special thank you to Manabu for being my voice  ;)

Welcome back, Fergus! I feel the same way that you do about music --- if I'm not listening to it, I'm constantly thinking about it.

I suppose you mean that you - when you don't listen to music - hear music in you inner ear all the same. At least this is true of me.

Good to see you again.
