Hi Nolan, You must have more time on your hands to post here now that you are away from Kennedy's Kitchen and Home. I hope all is going well for you in school and also hoping that you are finding places to play that Overton. Uncle joHn is taking some of my whistles for your brother Liam to try out. ...

Give a listen to Nolan Ladewski.

Bill, Spring is a good time to visit the South Bend area. The best place for Irish music in the area is Fiddlers Hearth. www.fiddlershearth.com Check their entertainment schedule. the last weekend in April Kennedys Kitchen plays on Friday evening, and Millish plays Saturday evening. We are very luck...

I'd like to add a few comments about my favorite whistler Nolan Ladewski and my favorite Band Kennedy's Kitchen. I get to see Kennedy's Kitchen play frequently. Several of the band members sit in on a Monday night session in South Bend. Nolan is almost always there, playing something that he has com...

Ron, Please check your P.M.

Thanks fellows for the leads on acetal rod. I have a friend with a lathe that will drill the rod into needed sizes. I'll get some aluminum tubing with less wall thickness than plastic water pipe. I don't think I'm ready to spin aluminum, but it looks interesting. Now another question. What type of d...

What is a good online source for small quantities of acetal tubing and rod?
I'd like to give whistle building a try, but all that seems to be available locally is thick walled pvc plumbing pipe. Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Bill

I'm kind of like you. I'm 61 and have been whisteling for three years.
I had no musical background before that. I lurk here regularly and have learned a lot over the years. Sure do miss Jessies posts and the pics of her baby. I hope a few more seniors make themselves known.

Any Chiffers having trouble finding motel rooms for Sat. 8/21?
I havn't been able to get one through Priceline. Last year I found
a room in Brookfield without any problrm at all, but not this year.
Any suggestions on motel rooms in the Milwaukee area will be
appreciated.

I'm planning on being at my second Milwaukee Irish Fest, I had a great time last year. I'm not up to speed yet as a sessiun player, but I'll give it a shot this year, just for a chance to meet some more of you C & Fers.

What a wonderful story Bill. It has a deep meaning for me. I have a neighbor that was very ill. I saw his wife this past Monday, and inquired about my friend Dales condition. I asked if she thought Dale might enjoy listening to some whistle music, and she invited me to come the next morning to play ...

I'll be in White Plains N.Y. Feb 20 and 21.
Any Irish sessions nearby?
I just want to listen and have a pint.
