How many years have you been playing?
As I am about to hit the 2-year mark in whistle-playing (June 30), I am curious...

Re: How long
I played Amazing Grace on Sept. 11th after the towers fell.
I've played almost everyday since.
I start with Star Spangled Banner and end with Amazing Grace and Over the Rainbow each time I practice.
Traditional Irish music is sorta new for me...since October last year. It's pretty much everything in between.

With me, it kinda depends on how you look at it. I started playing in 1975, played almost every day until 1979, when I started college and didn't have time for anything but my books. Took it up again in 1982 or so, and have had spurts of lots of playing activity followed by periods of relative inactivity ever since.

I took up whistle eight years ago, but I'm still not any good at it. Yet still, I'm posting clips. http://www.geocities.com/aaronwalden/yesiknow.htm I took up the other instrument on the clip, around the same time. Any guesses what instrument it is?

Well, on the poll I counted myself as less than 1 year since that is how long I've played whistle. The great thing about music, as I am sure you other muli-instrumentalists know, is that once you know one instrument fairly proficiently, picking up another is a lot of the time not so difficult (at least not as difficult as it would be for a complete beginner). The principals of music don't change. Imagine that!
