Thanks for that tip on the privacy settings! I'm going to add an addendum to my blog post about it right now. All the best,

Hahaha! Too bad PureVolume doesn't touch classical music with a 10 foot pole...i'd sign up on there in an instant! lol Believe it or not, social networking sites and my own website are still relatively new tools for me - it's just been since February of this year that i've been actively trying to build a web presence, and i'm kicking myself for not having started sooner...it's been a fun, fascinating journey, especially when i get to meet interesting folks like you! Take care, and hope to see you at the recital next Thursday! All the best,
Hugh Sung
