Hello everyone--I've been lurking about here for around six months and finally decided to wade in. Thanks to all for the help they've given to me without knowing it.

A little information about me--I'm a young, married, graduate stundent in philosophy with interests in medieval, classical, and irish traditional music. This is my first foray into chat boards. I've had several years of classical voice training but I whistle more than sing. For the interested, my collection consists of two sweettones, two clarke originals, a dixon high d with brass tuning slide, a walton's mello d, and something cheap and wooden in b "made in india". I like the sweettones the best.

The second sweettone I bought just two days ago in a hardware store. It was sitting with a bunch of others in front of the cash register very randomly. Also the brandname is "THE WOODSTOCK by Clarke's", though it is obviously identical to my other sweettone in everything except color. This seemed funny to me.

Tell us something.: I became interested in the beauty and versatility of Irish whistles and music over 20 years ago when I first found the Chiff boards. Yes, I do have WHOA, and I love my whistles. :)

You wouldn't be the same Michael Sullivan from the film "Road to Perdition?"

Come to think of it, he got shot at the end, but you could be his son, who was also Michael.

Anyway, great name for an Irish Trad Whistler! We're mostly a bunch of fakers here!

Martin--
I am unconnected with the film in question. My family tree is filled with more preachers than gangsters. I've always been fond of my name, however. It suits me and my Irish proclivities well enough.

Well Michael, that's a relief! I've heard of gangsters carrying fiddle cases, but I think you'd have trouble holding up a bank with a low whistle!

Welcome, a Mhichíl.

You are aware that Sullivan means one-eyed? Maybe the criminal gene is deeper-seated than you realise, and your ancestors were eye-patch-wearing pirates.

If you've been lurking for about 6 months you probably don't know who I am. The name's Walden. Pleasure to make your acquaintance.

Forsooth! It was about time.

St. Anselm had some interesting thoughts. "For, it is one thing for an object to be in the understanding, and another to understand that the object exists. When a painter first conceives of what he will afterwards perform, he has it in his understanding, but he does not yet understand it to be, because he has not yet performed it. But after he has made the painting, he both has it in his understanding, and he understands that it exists, because he has made it."
