Technology is the way forward for arts orgs in the Millennial age

playwright Gwydion Suilebhan on his blog, 10/1/12

Steve Shelby left a comment for John Lunn

"Hi John. I love your flute. I worked at a job for 23 years making keys and the metal parts for contrabassoons. Unfortunately, there was no creativity involved. The upside is that I learned a huge amount about working with metal and making tools."
