After spending some hours with Michael in his shop (3-4 locations ago) I got a real appreciation (I'd not dare be so bold as to claim understanding) as to the process he uses to create whistles. I took quite a few photos and hoped to do a photo essay on the process. I never got to it. Back on point....

Bump. Ask any questions about the set to me via PM by tomorrow. I'll be out of computer range from saturday morning through after the auction. I could do a quick phone concert of my sub par playing if you want to hear the whistles tomorrow night (after 9 pm eastern daylight), send your phone #. Firs...

Hey, the chicken dance is a polka. Why can't we talk about the chicken dance?

Oh please, sweety...not that tired old "sharp canine teeth" argument! Humans have PATHETIC canines! Compare them even to those of the herbivorous gorilla...there's no way you can tear raw meat (or rip out the throat of a gazelle) with those! Most herbivorous species have vestigal "ca...

Mee Three.

The most expensive piece of fire wood I ever purchased. Even a Generation whistle of the worst quality control would be 100x better than that piece of...

Philly sessions for every night of the week.

See if you can trade dave for a Delrin head joint. I have a white delrin head joing that I love and Dave was extremely pleased with. I have played it so much that I am forgetting all about whistles.

Cheers.

Some of you might have heard that Ged Foley has very recently resigned as arts director for Irish Arts Week. I really doubt that there is anyone better at wearing all the different hats as Ged, let alone having that person be willing to take the responsibility and do it. Several developments have co...

Ceolach,

Please check you're e-mail, I'm waiting for you to send a new payment link so I can pay for all three CD's.

Thanks.
