Hi all,
I've been lurking for a while now, and what a friendly group this is! So I decided to come out of lurk mode and say hi.

HI!

Maybe I have Whoa already?! I have about forty Generations, Waltons, Oaks, Clares, and Feadogs, 3 Sindts, 1 Burke (anyone wanna buy it?), 6 Overtons, 1 Reyburn D/C set, 4 Albas, 2 cats, 3 Susatos and some other stuff I can't think of right now!

So here is my question: Is Celine Dion the greates Celtic singer of all times, or what?

Glad to have finally found such a nice place, no don't flame me for my spelling! LOL

What's "Whoa"?

PS: How much for the Burke? What kind is it?

Hi Bloomfield and welcome out of Lurkmode!

I think you'll find that most everyone around here agrees with you on Celine Dion. You hit the nail on the head.

You've got a few whistles, but i'm not sure if that size collection actually indicates a case of WhOA. I'm sure the experts will chime in on that.

What key(s) are your cats in?

Sorry Bloomfield, you do not haveWhOA. You have passed into the relm of Gee and Haw.

Bloomfield! You can't fool me!
You have over 3000 posts here.
So you're definitely not a Newbie.

Why don't you just take all your clothes off
and start a NEWDIE thread?

Oh, and welcome, Bloo! (may I call you that?)

BTW, how'd you swing the bonus post points?

Choose your own response:

a. I'm not qualified to give advice but...
b. Welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

c. All your problems will be solved with practice, practice, practice.
d. I suggest playing your cheapie for at least 50 years before getting a high-ender. You need a little time to develop some basic skills.

I can't believe it! Another newbie asking the same inane questions the last 95 or 100 newbies asked, and I'm tired of giving the same answers for the 95th or 100th time!

For cryin' out loud, CHECK THE ARCHIVES!!!!

What's a newbie?

Lurker?

Is this 'celine, the singer'?

So many questions .... where, oh where, are the answers?

That's it. I've had enough. One more provocative post like this and my sceen will look like pizza with the lot, after the technicolour yawn.

You don't fool me. Every newbie knows that the answer to your question is what. You imposter; you're not qualified to be a newbie. You have to earn at least $25 per anum to be a real newbie.

As for your so called 'collection', Hmmph. As I've argued repeatedly in earlier posts, my Overtons are bigger than your Overtons, My Sindts are more sindtful than your Sindts and my cats handle the tiles with an ease that your mangy prune-bummed brigade could never dream of.

I won't be bullied into silence. If this doesn't stop immediately I shall go back to being the AntiChrist in private and NEVER POST AGAIN until the next time my piles play up.

WHIMPER.......... MOMMA

Hello Bloomfield and welcome to the board.

You can find the theme from "Titanic" here:

And the tune that Captain Picard played on the Ressikan flute in that episode of Star Trek TNG here:

Don't worry about the second octave on the whistle, you'll get used to it in time and soon you won't even have to think about blowing a bit harder to get it, it'll come naturally. Just think "blowhard, blowhard" until it becomes automatic.

I notice you have some low whistles in your collection. Can I recommend that you get a copy of The Low Whistle Book and accompanying CD?

In answer to your question regarding Celine Dion: No.

Julia Roberts is generally recognised to be the superior Celtic singer.
