First of all I’d like to thank the Academy, and then my agent, and of course my mom, and dad (whoever you were), and all the little people, who are still bigger than I’ll ever be. 
Also I’d just like to thank all the great new friends I’ve made here. I enjoy you all.
Long live Irish music, the tinwhistle and C&F!
Hard to believe a person could log 1,000 posts. Congratulations! I have appreciated your input in the forum.
How about a new tune called something like, “The Humors of Oscar?”
At least your post have some substance, not just “oh really” types. I always enjoy reading them.
Oh, really?
In honor of my 101 th. post, I’d like to officially state, “I spend more time playing the whistle than posting messages.”
There are many who have been a member for a shorter time than I, but they have many hundreds more posts. Do you realize what you are doing? If you had a dollar for every post, you would indeed have some nice whistles. But do you? No. See what I mean?
In closing, I wish to thank my company for allowing me access to the Internet. However, the blocking of MP3’s was a little too much. But, I digress…
Lastly, a toast to all I’ve offended, to those I haven’t offended, to those I will never offend,to my agent, manager, lawyer, ex-wife, IRS and every other blood-sucker who has ever dipped their hand into my shallow pockets to deprive me of decent whistles! Oh, and world peace.
Tube “Dude!” Dude
Congratulations, Blackhawk on your thousandth, and Bravo to you, Tubedude on your hundred and firstieth post. (taking off hat and saluting)
We like you, we really like you.
Way to go, Hawk! Keep 'em coming.
Carol

Dude! Did you backpedal?

ROFL!
1.) Congrats on all your input to this board so far, B’hawk – it is almost always a notch above the mundane daily whinge (& downright spam) of a few others here; and your significant contribution to this board is much appreciated.
2.) How is your improved O’Brien whistle holding up, for you? Still your favorite? Give us a small progress report, willya?
3.) Also, any chance you’ll be moving on to the flute, anytime soon?
'luck now,
brian_k
Having 1000 posts means you are officially licensed to barg in and mess with everyone’s groove. (see forum structure thread) 
Oh by the way:
spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam
(he was talking about me, I don’t have a thought in my head) 
Let’s see 2K eh?

Wow Brian, you have a great memory. I ended up putting the O’Briain on the shelf. It still sounds wonderful, maybe even the best sounding whistle I have, but breath control was difficult. I had a very hard time blowing softly enough to get a reliable bell note on a regular basis. As to the flute, I bought one of Alan Mount’s and have been experimenting with it. The flute is my ultimate goal, but it seems a long way off. I have such trouble getting a decent note out of it!
And thanks to all of you for your kind words.
Being just a lurker, really, I can’t relate to having a massive post count but congrats D.

Congrats, Hawkie and Dude. Keep on rolling.

I am sorry.
Congrats Blackhawk,
I reckon I have a ways to go in catching up with you.
I suppose I should stop lurking and start participating…

Way to go Blackhawk. You always have something worthwhile to say and its always a pleasure to read. I too got my hands on one of Alans flutes. It is a curse from hell. My whistles now have become refuge from the horror of flute practice.
(I would put a “keep on truckin” smiley here if I could find one)
And thanks for all your help in sending me down this path of mighty fine music.
Tom
