Tell us something.: I'm a historian and the author of "The Beat Cop:Chicago's Chief O'Neill and the Creation of Irish Music," published by the University of Chicago in 2022. I live in Arlington VA and play the flute sincerely but not well

I case you haven't seen this, Kyle Borley is attempting to play ALL the tunes in O'Neill's 1001. At a rate of one a day it will take him three years

Tell us something.: I can only hope that my proficiency with the whistle is steadily improving. A few of my whistles get a workout on an almost daily basis. And I'm almost certainly afflicted with WhOAD.

He appears to be playing them on at least four different instruments. I wouldn't be able to play one a day on a whistle; it usually takes me a day or three to pick up a new tune, and dance tunes would cert require more time! Maybe some day I'll pick up a copy of O'Niell's 1001 and give it a go.
