Nope. I meant both Mr. Galway and myself are classically trained. Mr. Anderson is not. In fact, he is self-taught. Mr. Anderson did not even pick up the flute until he was 21 years of age. It's amazing how Mr. Anderson uses the flute, and a totally different way from Sir James Galway and myself. It's pretty cool. Well, I'm having to write this email from my old iPhone. The iPhone that I had stopped working properly. Let's just say, I got a little too angry with it, and caused it to break. Accidentally that is. Sometimes, I don't know my own anger or my own strength sometimes. Fighting with Siri can be a real pain in the butt.

?Maybe you¡¯re right! Maybe she did mean both James and Ian instead of James and I.?
I think you rightly clarified what ¡°classically trained¡± means for those that are unsure though, so either of those statements would be in error.?

Sorry when Amanda wrote:
"Both James and I are classically trained."
I thought that she meant "James and Ian" and just left off some letters. I realize she's blind and proof-reading isn't easy when you are not sighted, so I assumed Ian instead of "I".

hi Cheryl. I'm glad you're a player of the flute. So am I. By the way, my name is Amanda. Feel free to email privately if you have any questions. Anyway, a flute player you should listen to is James Galway. He's fabulous. He's great. He has very good intonation, and is a virtuoso. I have been playing this beautiful instrument for 22 years. Another gentleman that plays the flute is?Jethro?Tall's front man Ian Anderson. Ian uses the flute in a very unusual way though. Both James and I are classically trained. Ian uses it in a rock context which I find to be very entertaining.
