- Tell us something.: You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free - Location: Loren has left the building.
Barb, right....... Just happened to sign up as all this was going on, eh? Sure.
Obviously, I don't need to defend myself, however I don't know what you are disputing in my post here about this: I said the flute was cracked, you say I said the flute had two hairline cracks, which is what I told Talbert, so we agree. As I recall the cracks were on the embouchure end of the flute, somewhere, roughly, in the 9 or 3 o'clock postion from the embouchure hole. The cracks were right next to each other, one being about an inch or so in length, and the other approximately 3 inches in length. (again, exactly what I told you....Talbert....whoever) I certainly didn't lie, either Talbert wasn't looking closely, or he wasn't looking in the right place (all giving him the benefit of the doubt). Another possibility is that, the flute being bamboo, the cracks opened somewhat wider in the lower humidity of Colorado, and then when I shipped the flute back to Talbert in...what is it, Washington State? The cracks closed a bit making them more difficult to see ( ask any significant bamboo flute maker and they will tell you that bamboo cracks can widen and narrow quite rapidly with changes in humidity) again, giving Talbert the benefit of the doubt. My issue with Talbert has nothing do with the flute in question, but rather his way of dealing with the whole thing.
The fact of the matter is, I had absolutely nothing to gain by bringing the cracks to Talberts attention - as I already mentioned, I didn't ask to send the flute back to him, nor did I ask for a refund or discount, I simply mentioned what happened and told him I'd go about fixing it, because I was happy to have the flute.
Now Barb....or Talbert (why is your last name different for receiving mail at the post office?)....or Davy....or whoever you are, call me a liar if you want (which you wouldn't get away with face to face) but the fact is, while people on the message board don't always agree with my point of view on one thing or another, "Liar" is not something you're likely to hear me called here, or anywhere else. In addition, I've bought and sold roughly 200 instruments via this message board over the years, and you are the only person I can ever recall having a problem or unresolved issues with. Regardless, I'm sure people on the message board will decide for themselves what's really going on here.
Now, Good Day To You!!!

Oops. Wrong thread.
Oil them regularly; butter should suffice. Boiling or steaming: a horse apiece. They're well humidified either way. And get keys, please. It's easier on you and your audience.Now I have another question. I've done a search of the archives but I still don't know what's wrong with boiled carrots. Will my half-holing improve if I steam them? Should I do a search under fried carrots?
Do you fry your carrots?
Good advice, and a relief. For a moment there, I thought you meant Dónal Lunny. I'd hate to think of you as a namedropper.I just rang Donald Lunnie, who I normally see at cock fights and mudwrestling festivals, and he told me that if I dropped his name again I'd probably bruise my foot.
Always with the name dropping, Tony! I've had it! I'll never play with Paddy Maloney again.TonyHiggins wrote:Hey, wait a minnit. I sent Loren a free cd. Is that the same one??? Loren- never contact me again. Paddy Maloney warned me about you.In fact, once he sent me a CD, no charge, just gave it to me. I don't forget things like that.

Don't contact me again, Davey Spillane.
(is it true he used to play with the Monkees?)

ooops! Sorry for the confuzzlement, people! I'm TyggyTwo too! Remember in another thread we mentioned that a lot of us had changed our email and invalidated our profiles? I logged in a TyggyTwo to see if I could delete myself, and when I couldn't I got back into the thread and posted the reply to Raymond without regaining my Tyghress stripes.
Mea culpa! As far as I know, I'm the only Tyg around!

Yeah, right.
I'm bald. I'm way older than Talbert. I don't play the low whistle anywhere near as well as he does. I don't even know who Davey Spillane is. And Talbert doesn't even like my durn whistles, and I already told you that!trisha wrote:Take the award for today's biggest stirrer, Azalin :roll:Azalin wrote:Ahhh c'mon, we all know that Talbert/Barb is in fact Bill/Serpent!
Last time I asked Dale to lock a thread, he kicked my alter ego / evil twin out. I don't want that to happen again. Now, just because I like Talbert's CD doesn't mean anything but, well, I like his CD. Leave me out of the rest of this, please. Serpent is dead. Good riddance.
