03/27/08 Welcome to Taity, who sends: "a very new player giving a dixon low d a shot (only been playing few months no laughing ) my attempt at rowan tree." (saved in slow airs)

Geoff Walker sends 3 tunes " played on a keyless wooden flute. I don't know much about the instrument as I was given it and it has no makers name on it anywhere I can see. It is made of blackwood, has a narrow bore and small tone holes and is fairly quiet but of good tone. Nearer in tone to a baroque flute than the usual 19th century style flute. Of the three tunes, two I wrote myself, "Levenside" is a march and "Rydale" a waltz. Both tunes are named after rivers and valleys in North Yorkshire near where I live. The third tune is an 18th. Century slow air from Scotland "The Yellow Haired Laddie," a song written by Allan Ramsay and the words can be found in the online Bodleian Library Broadside Ballad Collection - http://www.bodley.ox.ac.uk/ballads/ballads.htm (tunes are linked to Geoff's site: http://www.pteratunes.org.uk/Music/Clips)

David Marchant sends two tunes on a Freeman tweaked Generation Nickel D- Bucks of Arranmore (reel) and Garrai (hornpipe- there may be more to the title)
http://tinwhistletunes.com/clipssnip/newspage.htm Officially, the government uses the term “flap,” describing it as “a condition, a situation or a state of being, of a group of persons, characterized by an advanced degree of confusion that has not quite reached panic proportions.”

Garraí Na bhFéileóig = Garden of Honeysuckles (or Peas). Also known as Garden of Butterflies, and Poll Ha'penny. And the 2nd hornpipe of that clip is Miss Galvin's, also known as Mary Bergin's.

David: El mejoramiento de tu técnica e interpretación que se oye aquí es estupendo. Casi no lo creo. Muy, muy impresionante.

Joel Barish: Is there any risk of brain damage?
Dr. Mierzwiak: Well, technically speaking, the procedure is brain damage.
