End of an era...

I've been a member there for almost 20 years. My first chromatic had numerous problems. I gave up on it, but I hung around Slidemeister because they talked about music I liked and had a small diatonic section. 4 1/2 years ago Sarge sold me a Chrometta 10. It functions perfectly. Now I am blessed
with several nice chromatics and divide my time equally between chromatic and diatonic.
I'm going to miss Slidemeister. There is a harmonica club that meets weekly 25 miles from me. I have visited them a few times over the years. It is probably time to join them. Before retirement my work schedule didn't allow me to attend often.
The average age at Slidemeister is probably north of 50. The younger folks seem to gravitate to social media sites. For the past year I have been following a harmonica forum on Reddit. It is active and has some younger folks.

Slidemeister still works fine for me. I just can't post. I can read all the posts and can "like" them. I can even list unread messages and mark all messages as read. This works fine for me. I have learned a lot about chromatic maintenance and repair from that site. Also learned about new chromatics and read many reviews that helped me decide on purchases. For many years I just read the site and never commented. This will be like a return to the old days for me.
