AlexThank you. Your comments are right on fit me to the proverbial "T." I was also feeling a little self-conscious boring the level of experience and expertise with my sub-basic questions.I really don't mind taking tiny baby steps and even doing a routine repeatedly will not be boring to me as it will take me to where I expect to be. Even if I do not "master" this for a very long time I am still doing something and enjoying my new hobby at whatever level I find myself.Don't mean to sound egotistical, but I am considered among the best of the current crop of Native American flute players (believing what my reviews and feedback tells me). That is the result of 'boring' practice and daily exploring my instrument.What is RL?Wanishi jutia.Louis

Louis-Glad to hear you're beginning to feel a little more comfortable. You're comparison to learning music is right on target! I say that because in Real Life (RL!) that's what I teach. Interestingly, I have a beautiful Native American flute, although I don't play anywhere near your level (you're music is beautiful, by the way)! Keyboards are my main instrument. I also have a gourd flute, a mbira, and a bowed psaltery.Think I better stop now as I'm getting a bit off topic. Feel free to PM me if you wish to chat about flight sim, music or anything else!

AlexDidn't mean to take so long responding BUT I am still trying to recover from a nasty virus that hit me this past Friday and resulted in me having to re-install my XP OS. I lost a lot - financially, in time and data. Fortunately much was saved via backup but a lot was also lost. Little can make up for the accompanying stress and aggravation. Got a lot to do yet before even approaching any semblance of normalcy.Plus, while in my humble barely computer literate opinion Dell makes a very good computer, their support is horrendous. Hideous!!! With little exception, it has been so since day one. Those who create and broadcast viruses, worms, etc are a sorry lot of losers who think that by causing grief and problems for others that somehow puts them a step up. It doesn't and they need to be dealt with severely.Anyway, your kind comments about my music is appreciated. Obviously you listened to the sound bytes at my site. What are the odds of deciding to take up flight sim as a hobby and find someone who has a Native American flute? What is a gourd flute?If I wanted to contact you via private e-mail (assuming that's what you meant by PM) how do I do that?Louis

Louis-Look for an e-mail from me!Alex
