I'm with Kitty on this one. Good idea, wrong magazine. I'm thinking that we have a better chance of getting into National Geographic than People.

That reminds me, do you think tinwhistles will continue to thrive after the Mayan calendar runs out time?

Look, if all we need to get People Magazine to notice us is a drunken C&F moderator or administrator, then I'm your man. Been a long while since I was drunk or even close, but I could dust off a couple of old bottles and give her a try.

I'll get good and drunk and make controversial comments about Mel Gibson and Catholics while resisting arrest by Florida Highway Patrol whom I can call "Catholic Bubba Pigs", and tinkle on their trowsers and shoes.

C'mon! Really! It'll be a hoot!

I would have to cast my vote for the Diva of Danu here.

I have to agree with Brassblower here.

As for People Magazine, the problem is that this is a virtual commuity. They could visit Dale's house and take pictures of him carrying on in a drunken rant about poorly designed plastic whistles, but that has become commonplace.

Perhaps we could take advantage of being a virtual community and offer People something unigue. New Years Eve. All 5000+ C&F members play _______. at 12:01. The tune would circle the globe. It would work even better if each participant recruited their community's most popular D-list trashy celebrity to join them. Whistles and floozies blow in the New Year.

Time to go back to work.

The problem is finding such a celebrity who will pose for pictures with me when there's not a 10-gallon hat and a mechanical bull involved.

Yes, it is. See ya later.

Who else?

Paddy Maloney?

I'm not much of a judge of how sexy Paddy is, but I hear he gets ALL the chicks!

Hi Paul and friends

thank's for your idea , but from my point of view , I don't think Chiff & Fipple need something like that , in fact I like this forum because is full of people with the same interest , love for music , and that's exactly what makes this website very special , poeple from all over the world find somehow this website adress and we contact each others simply by digit some words and send messages around , with your own opinions and requests , that's already enough for me at least !

Doing an article would just atracts more people ,yes, but then you'll have around people that are not really in love with music , just getting around out of curiosity and perhaps more hackers or people that just want to sell you an unvisible whistle ( for instance) , I hope you get my meaning !

What really I would like , would be met personally the people in this forum , see each others face to face , play together , sharing experience and laugh , that's what really would be important for me !

So, if you really want to do something for this community , I tell you what ...
we should organize a worldwide gathering , (I don't know if some of you remeber those famous "Rainbow Gathering" some people used to do in USA , South America , Europe , etc.) , find a nice forest or beach and gather all together , bringing whistles , flutes , percussions , make a big fire and play , sing and dancing naked (hops

) around a big fire circle !!!

Ok , I know ... , it's just a dream

!

though not quite People, how bout Irish Music magazine? there's no search function on their website, so can't tell if they've run anything on C&F before, but my guess is probably not.

Great idea! Even if People or Rodeo World or some other rag doesn't carry it, I'm in.

What are we going to play? I think it should be something reasonably well-known and simple enough so everyone from beginners to old salts can do a good job on the number. To avoid an unending discussion, I vote we nominate tunes and then Dale picks one by, say December 20th. I'll go with the glaringly obvious and nominate "Auld Lang Syne," although I secretly hope someone comes up with a suitable Irish tune.

How about a politically correct "Danny Person". We'll kill 'em on the high note.
