Are you serious?david quinn wrote:jigs and reels are relatively simple to play compared to what James Galway can play. For most Competent Flautists not in my case though.
James Galway can play things the rest of us could only dream about and not just on penny whistle but on fife, old system, simple sytem and Hes the master of the Boehm.
Does Matt Molloy get to play a lot with Symphony Orchestras and does he have a Golden flute?

Interestingly, the title of the clip calls him "Jimmy G". The jig he's playing has been called the "Pennywhistle Jig" on a Boston Pops 4th of July TV segment that I saw some years back. Masterfully played as it was, I disliked it mightily from the time I heard it. The name didn't help one bit, either. That, and its melodic layout, made me think of not so much Irish music as a parody.AaronMalcomb wrote:Wow, and he does it during an earthquake nonetheless.

And I really, really want to like the guy. But what does that matter? He's making a living, and there's a market for him.
