Upcoming festival in Baltimore, MD

Concerts, workshops, Ceili, all the good stuff.

Just finished the course with a 47 out of 50 on the final. Great stuff in the last 2 weeks of the course. Most of the information was new to me. I found the synthesis section really intriguing which seems kind of funny for a guy who's primarily a folk musician. The Soundation site is fun and seems l...

I did notice that the mid-term deadline was 12 am Monday. So you've got all day Sunday!

Some useful info in Week two. The most important thing I learned was that you can watch the video at X 1.25 speed without much audio degradation. :party: Only did this on the Microphone section which was again, very familiar turf. The MIDI section was informative. However, it seemed like a survey of...

Thanks for suggesting this! I'm in as well. I want to test some of the knowledge I've gained through years of trial and error. I admit to no formal training, but have years of music and sound reinforcement experience. Guess I want to find out if I really know what I think I know. So far, I've learne...

I've spent my allotted week with the Ellis whistles and it's been an enjoyable one. The maker has a list of requests in order to care for the instruments. The hardest one to honor is to let the whistles acclimate for 24 hours in your home before playing. Luckily I was away camping last weekend so th...

We had both a large and a small holed version recently make the rounds at our session here in Baltimore. I wonder if it's the same flute? Personally I really enjoyed the larger holed one, though the other was fun to play as well. His info sheet states "Rudall and Rose, copy of later model with ...

Any rugby fans in the Pub?
Just watched the New Zealand V. France final, which was a tight match as the final should be. Surprised but glad to see it broadcast here on one of the US networks.

Vaguely related to the OT..... Two Gallagher flutes appeared at our last session. Seems the banjo player's wife is purchasing one, but needed some help deciding which type. He was nice enough to send her both a small and large holed version so she could choose and return the other. Oh, these were De...

When I was a wee Boy Scout our Troop Leader had a "punishment" for scouts who forgot to bring their personal eating utensils on campouts. That was teaching them to carve chopsticks from a green branch and then eat all the weekend meals with them. All of us eventually learned and would leav...

Sure hope the OP's O'Riordan finds it's mark. Just to show that they get it right sometimes, I recently had a whistle shipped from Scotland to the east coast of the US. The shipper used Royal Mail airsure priority mail. I was able to track it on the computer and it arrived in only a week's time incl...

I'm not sure what's in D.C. proper but Wheaton, MD isn't far:

Or, J Patrick's is the place in Baltimore, about 45 minutes to the north.
