To Dale...

Through the forums I have been exposed to so many aspects of ITM, and other traditional musics too, that I had never encountered before. I have had a lot of fun here too. Thank you for providing this opportunity for nothing. I still can't figure this out actually. But hey, I'm not complaining!

Well done Dale, keep up the good work.

All the best

Dale: My first ever message concerning whistles was sent to you, so many years ago...You answered with wisdom and humor, and started me on my whistle path. C+F is the best cyber place I go. I have learned much, and have made many wonderful long-distant friends. It is because of you...
Enjoy your Copeland.

Thank you...

I can honestly say, Dale, that you have changed my life. Once, I was just a normal zhlub, dragging myself thru an unchanging, dreary, beige landscape of life. I stumbled on your site and became transformed.

Now, not only do I now have more whistles than I can carry, as well as fifes, flute-like objects and a stray ocarina, I also have a couple of wonderful flutes all of which I cannot play worth a poo. Recently an obsessive desire to take up the hammered dulcimer has come over me ( perhaps I need a musical instrument which, even if I cannot play it, I can hit with a hammer). I have been driving around town with Uilleann pipe music wailing. When I pull up to a light, hip-hoppers roll up their windows and pretend to ignore me.

With your unwitting encouragement I have embarked on a descent into WhOA, IrTrad, madness, degeneracy and Celtic festivals.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Dale.

Enjoy the Copeland.

Ach, Roger...Be careful. On the road to hammer dulcimers, dragons be...
If ye think whistles are addictive, ye have not yet lived...Been there for 20 years. No way out. And that's OK...

Best.

Thanks so much Dale. You really have done a remarkable thing here.

This "thank-you" was a long time coming and well-deserved.

Thanks to you as well Paul.

I've put together a little thing to thank you all for this beautiful gift.

Alas, no clips. (Yet.) I really have to buy a microphone one of these days.

Oh, no, you miss my point. There's a REASON I don't own a microphone.
