Thats just a gorgous cat Moxy!!!

All-knowing Chiffers, Are the chirpy, bird-like whistle styles of Moloney and Potts linked to a region of Ireland or are they purely "look at what I can do!" in nature? Tis hard to get a straight anwser from folk I see. I think for some players, especially of an older generation, where th...

Ok, just checking!!

www.joeburkemusic.com should get you to the guy you want, email and phone number is on the site. I emailed him once and he replied within a couple of days!!

Joe Burke the Accordian player?

I never considered whether I should or shouldn't tounge. Every instrument (wind) I've ever played you either tounged or slurred or something inbetween, and I figured the whistle really wasn't any different. Some of the techniques need a little adapting (much lighter touch) but arn't really much dif...

"You scored 0% Beginner, 0% Intermediate, 0% Advanced, and 72% Expert!" I couldn't figure out what that score meant because I was sure my answers were corrrect, So, I followed the link at the end of the test that provides the answers. It's the page with a picture of the author saying &quo...

Well then, perhaps we can do a swap! I'll send you mine if you send me yours!! I take it you recorded the session? :roll:

Why didn't ya just say that in the first place Azalin!! :roll: I just didn't want you puttin the poor "crater" off before they got goin! Over here (Ire.) there, as far as I am aware are not sessions for beginner, intermediate, advanced, professional or whatever, you go out to find a sessio...

So, BurrenBabe - do you actually live in the Burren area? I'm going to be in Ireland over St. Patrick's Day for a week, and staying in Doolin for 3 of the 6 nights I'll be there. Where's the craic? It would be nice to meet/play with another C&F'er who knows where to go.[/quote] Sorry, I live abo...

[quote="Azalin"]as long as you don't intend to play with people who are much more advanced than you.......my general philophy is that you should only join a session when you're no going to make the music worse :-) I think that this sort of response to the question, is most certainly going ...

I have an Olympus DS100 player and its excellent!! It costs around the price you mentioned $100 or so, record yourself or at sessions etc download the recording into your PC for critique or in my case to delete and start again!! :roll: It also makes for ease of emailing tunes, which I do alot!

I'd love to go but don't think I could make it to Canada and back in time for work on the Monday!!

Hey, Moxy, you changed your pic. very nice - trying to impress someone?

Not humble - just truthful!! I do a good impression of a banshee tho!!

I doubt it was the same private recordings that I have heard. There are a few "reel2reel" tapes that I hope to get and get them converted at some point, for myself really, but it won't be in the near future. I would love to have more of his playing going around and plan to do something abo...
