I'm not ready to holler "WHOOPIE!!!" yet! I'm getting the Session D with the bright polish and a hard case! As usual when I'm vibrating with anticipation, I try to forget about it and pretend it's a suprise when it comes! I got a grant from the State Arts Council for $3,000 and have been waiting for a check for a few weeks now and am convinced, I jinx it every time I look in the mail box expecting it! It's kind of like when I stop wishing and hoping and anticipating that it shows up, but you can bet I'll be fussy by the end of September! It's one of those things I just HAVE to have! The otaves do not sound forced on it, either!

I can appreciate the anxiety about waiting. I am sorely tempted to order a complete McHaffie set, but there are a couple other things I want also that I can get without a two or three month wait. I have to budget my whistle purchases carefully, and have found that poverty is the best cure for Whoa. Hopefully by time I get around to ordering from him, the wait won't be five or six months.
BTW, isn't it custom in Deadwood, when someone comes into a large sum of money, for the lucky soul to buy a round of whistles for everyone on the lis..... Oh never mind.

Blaine! You read my mind! This is a BIG splurge, but I also got a Clarke's Sweetone display with 36 of them in various colors coming into a music store in Rapid City! Are you thinking guerilla tactics? You betcha! I'll giving those whistles away to any kid who asks for one! And I'll keep giving them away until we wannabe buskers can get through to the city council so we can play music in the street! NOW, I have to go back to filling these plastic eggs with beans, for shakers. We're planning to go for a cheezy world record here, the world's biggest drum circle...and we're not running it by the Chamber of Commerce or the City Council!

Hey I actually spent money and bought a few of them egg shakers until I realized that all these leftover plastic eastereggz we had could be put to good use. I've filled em with beans, popcorn(unpopped), rice and BB's. Each has its own unique tonality.
As for giving away whistles - sounds good; but from what I've heard of Deadwood, that could be fatal. Remember Socrates -corrupting the youth all that
Let me know how the drum circle goes. (I'm afraid to tell my wife, but I just bought a doumbek.) My problem is Miao. No, not cats, musical instrument of any type!
BTW, are you still working on Planxty Irwin. I mastered it pretty quickly on my Mandolin, but when I tried to tackle it on my whistle, well, it hasn't gone quite as smoothly. Maybe if I read music - naw, don't wanna go there

He! Just call it "Anna's Revenge" and have done with it! Just think, all the dogs in town howling their pea brains out while tots shrilly tweedle those whistles...wow, a duet for dogs and whistles!

I got it down pat! Was easy, and I used the sheet music just a bit to get past those sticky places with the c naturals! Soldier's Joy is next!

Anna,
I'm sure you'll do this the moment you have any spare time after communing with your new acquisition in September, but please keep us posted! My Urge Meter is on the move - the clips on Eric's site sound make the whistle sound so appealing - the photographs make it look so appealing - the site itself packs a lot of credibility into the "message". And it's that "low breath requirement" thing again. Heeeelllppppp!
Tickled pink for you (and just ever so slightly green)
