I believe there's also some evidence that the great French horn player and mysterious baseball pitching phenomenon Sidd Finch also recorded some impressive penny whistle tracks.

Best wishes,

I have that CD.

I found it a little disappointing.

Was Sidd Finch the guy they wrote about in Sports Illustrated a few Aprils ago who studied pitching in Tibet?

Did no one click the little green guy at the bottom, or is everyone just really good at pretending?

Ayup.

They don't make them like George Plimpton anymore.

Best wishes,

It's much more fun to do it the hard way.

I also liked the links to other albums on further down the page. The one by Ruth and the Colettes features the strung-out whine of Evelyn (Lamb Chop) Lamuraglia on the violin.

I seem to remember a novel about a French Horn playing pitcher who studied in Tibet also. Did someone expand the Plimpton thing into a novel?

Ah if only....

But I do remember some virtuoso jazz pennywhistle recorded in the 1980s by Billy Novick of Boston, whose main instrument was the clarinet. His renditions of Irish tunes were awful but the jazz numbers were brilliant and fun. It was called The New Pennywhistle Album, with guitar accompaniment by the incredible Guy Van Duser. Seems to be out of print; it's not even listed on Billy's website.

This is a reoccurring gag... Stick around another six to eight months...It will be back!
