An Infusion of Insanity - semi-OT sound clip enclosed....
We need more laughing faces here, and I don't mean emoticons.
In pursuit of that goal...
...from the folks who brought you Melody Kiss the Quaker...
...from the makers of Drinking Straw Chanters...
...from the performing duet that brought you the Small World Slide...
We proudly (?) present:
Act I: The gifting of the flute
http://www.rit.edu/~eeg6662/cf/chiff_humor_1a.mp3 (931kb)
Act II: Performance of a classic Irish piece, with slide accompaniment
http://www.rit.edu/~eeg6662/cf/chiff_humor_1b.mp3 (880kb)
And for a limited time, receive a bonus! A portrait of the artist himself, during a moment of profound musical insight. Please, in respect for the artist's craft, please wait to view the portrait until after the Acts have begun.
http://www.rit.edu/~eeg6662/cf/chiff_humor_1.jpg
This performance was...er, performed... as an inaugural ...performance... to celebrate the completed construction of the artist's new studio. Recorded live in December of 2002.
...and hopefully the artist will be as amused as I am and not get back at me for posting this...

I actually have a separate folder in my hard drive for the strange sound/video files I've collected since joining this Whistle Board. Besides the various pieces played on candy slide whistle, straw chanter, etc, I still have Greg's (can't remember which greg) video file of him playing Sally Gardens on his tiny keychain whistle. That last one was a classic, and I'm still amazed the maker of that keychain actually made the whistle playable and more or less in tune.

Ava, your back!
*"What about my back?" she asks testily.*
Oops. My mistake. Typo there. Let me try this again.
Ava, you're back!
I for one, have missed you.
Best wishes,
Jerry
P.S. Tuaz, et al. (Tony Higgins?) any chance there's a place all such humorous clips could be posted together? Archived for easy access? I would love to hear them.

Ah HA!!!
I suspected what I was listening to was nose flutes.
I followed your instructions and viewed the image last..
That was great!!!!
Now try "Somewhere Over the Rainbow with them" Hillarious!!!!!
Hey may have a new thing going for sessions.
Add a few Kazoos for drone effects and you have a great sound!!!
Or a great laugh!

Thanks for the much needed smile and laugh Beth! Can't wait to see what happens at the next GRM Session. Kazoos could indeed be, um, interesting....

Thanks, Ava, for this priceless gift. You've given me two definitive versions of rare Irish songs that I hope, someday, I will be able to play with such perfection. The call of the nose flute and slide whistle is, like the Sirens of ancient myth, irresistible. I am filled with longing, and not a little amour for the players of such exquisite music. They are gods.

- Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.
