Tell us something.: I became interested in the beauty and versatility of Irish whistles and music over 20 years ago when I first found the Chiff boards. Yes, I do have WHOA, and I love my whistles. :)

That's pretty bad.

The tunes wouldn't sound so bad if the rhythm was right. I don't know Irish music very well yet, but I know enough that it made me cringe.

Wow! The filth on the internet these days... When I have kids I'm gonna have to get a program to filter those dirty sites out!

Net Nanny Anyone... Actually it would be funny...

You might be a Pennywhistler if:

You programed your internet filter software to filter any pages with the word "Recorder" on them...

All I can say (with out listening... I don't want to assail my tender ears with such stuff...) is that recorder is NOT meant for Irish music. It doesn't sound right.

It sounds heavy and ponderous and, and...
definitely NOT the way it should sound.

While this guy's playing may still be in the early stages, I'm quite positive that much of it is better than the recordings I put on my website when I was 'new'. Good thing I wasn't on this message board to see myself get ripped to shreds back then :wink:
