- 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.

That would give me carpal shoulder syndrome.

I don't know if you guys were subscribers when I wrote about Jim Dunn loaning me his Overton Low, Low A. That's an octave below hte usual Low A whistle. I couldn't begin to play it. I covered all the holes with black electrical tape to be able to hear the lowest notes. I felt so...so...inadequate.

I have one of Colin's <B>Bass</B> G whistles on display at the Shop ('sorry, it's not for sale...). It's a real monster.
<P>
The only way that I can play it is by putting a long piece of clear aquarium-hose on the mouthpiece to blow into, then I hold the whistle down at my side - kind of like a large saxophone (it looks funny, but it works).
<P>
If I try to play it as you would a regular whistle, the mouthpiece comes to about the middle of my nose when my arms are stretched out as far as they will go...

- Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.

My uilleann vacuum was a flat pitched low low Eb minor key or something like that!
