Re: An introduction.........
Good thing your first exposure wasn't one of those dreadful souvenir whistles they sell in Old Sturbridge Village or you would have given up right on the spot!!Jeff_H wrote: How I came to find the penny whistle was by pure chance.... During our stay every time we’d stop in a shop that had either the Guinness or Walton’s whistles I’d eyeball them but I didn’t actually purchase one until we were waiting to leave for home at the airport in Shannon.
Seriously, OSV is a wonderful place to visit and I'd recommend it highly to anyone visiting the Northeast.
Wellcome to the board!

Hi Jeff!
I live in Boylston now, but lived in Sutton MANY years ago! Boston Rd, actually - near the American Legion! As for Sturbridge, that's where my sister lived for years - just past Rom's on Shepard Rd!
Small world, huh?
If you're ever in the neighborhood, I play with a group called "Mulligan Stew" and we play in Clinton almost every other Sunday. Let me know if your interested, and I'll get you the dates for some upcoming gigs!

Oh and yes. I have been eyeing Low D's but I'm going to wait until I'm better on my soprano D's....

Hey Jeff, glad to see another bassist join the ranks. I'm finding the whistle a great alternate instrument, really gets you out of the box.Jeff_H wrote:Well, 22 years later and I’m still playing electric bass along with a little bit of guitar for fun. Now, I’ve developed a bug for playing the whistle.
.....
Since I already suffer from the bassist’s affliction known as GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) I caught WhOA in a very short time. Whistles are MUCH cheaper to buy than basses and amps.
Be careful with WhOA, I know that after bass GAS, whistles seem absurdly cheap. However, it's really easy to slip from several sub $10 whistles to several in the $50-100 range to etc....
regards,
Joe
