Random notes wrote:I just went through the succesful bidder's feedback. Not only did he pay $320 for a Feadog w/ lipstick but of his most recent purchases nearly all were Corr memorabilia, mostly from an Asian tour.
The standout: $275 for a pair of signed drumsticks from Caroline.
Andrea's whistle . . . a tempting idea, but not worth that kind of money going only by seller's story. Can we preform DNA tests on the fipple? And while we're at it, let's auction off the Q-tip used to swab her cheek.
But if Andrea ever wanted to help a charity, a used whistle action might be a great idea. Would I pay up to two hundred dollars for a whistle with a letter of authenticity and Andrea's signature, with proceeds donated to a good cause? Yes . . . a situation like that would make it worth selling out that kind of money.
I sing the birdie tune
It makes the birdies swoon
It sends them to the moon
Just like a big balloon
Did I miss out on placing a bid? I had just broken my twins piggy banks and was counting the pennies I have the money, no way did I miss bidding on Andrea's whistle. I'll be a ^&%$&*^%&!
Hold on.....I have some Feadog's and some pink lipstick (my wife's of course)
I have a idea $$$$$$$$$.

Tell us something.: I moved, so I'm in a different city. Not in Texas anymore!!! Although if someone sees that I'm in NYC, maybe they'll know of local places that I can look for whistles.
I don't think it's lipstick. I think someone knawed on it.
(And honestly, if you're going to be playing a tinwhistle on stage, wouldn't you just spend a few extra dollars and buy lipstick that doesn't come off instead of having all that slimy stuff on the fipple and then having to re-apply? That's my girl whistle player perspective.)

I doubt Andrea buys her own cosmetics (or applies them). She probably has people to do that for her.
