Nice tunes on the Forbes site!

Discuss.
Nothing to discuss again, apart from the stylish head-cover.
Great music!
Thanks, Cathy, for the hint!

I second the approbation of Mr. C's playing - and also propose his hold of the flute, beautifully demonstrated in these clips, as exemplary.
I can't share the delight in his very dodgy "sawn-off bobble-hat", though. What has happened to the bobble? And what is the point of a bobble-hat without a bobble?
I have never got to grips with that concept since such gangsterish looking things first appeared(or escaped from military surplus), usually in black and on the heads of bouncers. It is always my first thought on seeing one, how odd they look without the little ball of fluff at the top-centre! Weird! And not even justified as hiding equipment for premature or ill-judged artificial balditude! (Not suggesting KC suffers from either form - I don't know; but that does seem to be a common excuse for such millinarial bad taste.)

I respect people's privilege to hold their beliefs, whatever those may be (within reason), but respect the beliefs themselves? You gotta be kidding!

Aww, I was all set to write to Rob and suggest a winter promotion where he includes just such a hat with every order -- maybe it's a girl thing, but I like the headgear just fine!
My suspicion would be that KC, being a practical sort, recorded the tracks during the Great Clare Snowstorm and it was cold in his studio.
Then again he could be aiming for incognito, being as he's making a $400 Delrin flute sound pretty darned first-class.

kevin's hat
As a Canadian I can say that Kevin's hat is called a "toque".
One of the few Canadian words that has made it into the global English lexicon. That hat is almost a national symbol here, and the ideal wear for cold and blustery days.
Adding to this forum is so much easier when I don't have to display my ignorance of ITM.

Still looks daft without a bobble.

Oh, hit myself in the head!
tUque not tOque (although they are pronounced the same)
Yes, what AaronMalcomb posted is a toque. A chef's toque.
What Candians think of when they hear the word can be seen in a humorous montage here. The spelling of the word for this hat should have been tuque in my last message, but I'm an idiot.
So much for being an ambassador for Canada.
Pom-poms, tassles and the like can be fun but are not necessary

Thanks Cathy for the link. Fine playing and tone as usual from Kevin. I wonder if Kevin and David are playing the same Pratten flute model as they sound very different? David's flute has a more squealy sound whereas Kevin's has a darker, thicker, more Irish sound.
Kevin's headgear looks just fine too I think. Here in Sweden it's called a "mössa". A bobble on top or tassle would look lame and nerdy. Sans bobble or tassle it looks cool and street
