Ha ha ha John,

I will deal with you at the session.

John lent me his C flute to record those hornpipes. (I mean I played them in F with my D flute utilizing the Keys

)

That's impressive.

Yes, the hornpipes are very beautiful--
very much due to your performance.
I'm going to learn them.

Also the guitar accompaniment is very good.

I would say so since I am a snare drummer

How is it going David?

The Munster Grass is an Ed Reavy tune, and that's the name on it in the book of Reavy's tunes put together by his son. Other names for it might include...Reavy's.

Josh does indeed play my flute on that track, proving once and for all that my own lack of flute chops can't be blamed on my equipment. The danger of loaning out one's flute, alas.

John you don't give yourself enough credit. I have problems playing half the Dminor and Gminor tunes you play.

Frankly, they kick my A$$

I had to laugh out loud when I read that! Just goes to show what a flute player looks at and admires first-thought Tiff was going to say saw you across "a crowded room"... and thought you had a "nice looking face!"

Thanks for the laugh, Tiff!

And thanks for those clips, Josh-really nice playing-flute and guitar!

It's true, my first thought was about the flute. Sorry, Josh.

But it's different from what I'm used to seeing around these parts so it stood out. FWIW, Josh does have a nice-looking face.

And I enjoyed those clips as well.

Hey Josh--congrats!

Wish I couldve been there for the official release. Can't wait to hear the whole thing all together. I will only buy a copy if it comes with a free sweatshirt!

Patrick, you got the jimmie finger so bad now it's even infected your avatar! Hope it doesn't affect your playing. (Although maybe it helps...)

Absolutely lovely stuff - the kind of sound you achieve on those hornpipes is what has me hooked about ITM and the flute. It's all there ... the warmth, the subtlety, that handmade, innocent quality that knows nothing of the pretenses of big productions. I can't wait to hear the rest of the tracks.

Let me just add my appreciation and admiration. Truly fine playing. Thanks for making those 3 tracks available. Enjoyed them all.

Cheers and best of luck with the release and going into the future.
