You might want to check out a group called Barefoot. They put out a self title CD a number of years ago featuring a lot of flute and some whistle and sax laid down over some cool Latin and African percussion. It is kind of Jazzy/upbeat New Age (not the slow langorous new age) It's not really "C...

That's OK Tom, I have decided to begin making and playing my own whistles.

Which reminds me, I have a rather large order to place with Thom regarding some Over...

This thread has turned into exactly what I DIDN'T want to get started when I made my original post. I really was curious about the whistles Davy (allegedly) makes. I really didn't want to stir this all up again, because aside from the excellent posts by Phil and Goldie, it seems we have been over th...

Thanks for your comments Phil. It is good to hear from someone who is personally acquainted with Davy. I have tended to give him the benefit of the doubt, because, frankly, I do like his music. Is he aware that there are a great number of people out there (not just on this list) who have a less than...

Thanks all. It get the picture.

I really don't want to get off on another "indisputable one v. unmentionable one" debate here. I am seriously, sincerely, really curious; is anyone familiar with Davy's whistles? Has anyone out there played one?

Mike, Rich was killed in a car accident on September 19, 1997. It was weird because I was listening to a "Christian rock radio station" when the DJ came on and made the announcement that he had just heard that Rich had been killed. To be honest, I must admit that I don't usually listen to ...

Are any of you guys familiar with Sam Levine? He is the guy who plays whistle on the My Deliverer track. He appears to play flute and recorder too. He is not a regular member of the Ragamuffin Band. Blaine ..... as long as we are talking about Rich in general I have to confess that both, Man of No R...

I guess this is a matter of every individual being diferent. As I indicated above, I am gradually drifting towards the fingerpad method for both the A and G. I was at the Fresno Highland Games last weekend and Margie Butler of Golden Bough played a G whistle on a couple of tunes and I noticed she us...

I just received a new Tony Dixon G from Thom the other day, and have had a Susato A for some time now. Fingering the soprano whistles has never been a problem, and I quickly picked up on fingering the Low D to where the flat fingered style seems pretty natural now. But the A and G have been a bit mo...

I had my local christian bookstore order the Jesus Record Songbook for me a short time ago. I really doubt the whistle part will be in it, but then, I didn't buy it for the whistle part. The part appears to be some kind of counter melody, so just learning the main melody, which I have been working o...

Has anyone worked out, or, does anyone know if tab is available for the whistle part of Rich Mullin's "My Deliverer"?
