Another "Hello, I'm new" thread...

Post by Sober Sam »

Hi Folks
I have been playing the whistle for quite a while now, but I'm new to this Forum. I have a high and a low D Goldie Overton, a high and a low D Kerry, a sterling silver Copeland, a wooden Seery (how is that name speeled correctly?), some Susatos as well as a Grenadilla and a Boxwood Aebi Flute.
I also play guitar and other stringed instruments, as well as the drum and trumpet.

And who are you?
Why do people use aluminum to put beer in it, if you can make whistles out of it?

Hi, Sam! I see you've already encountered our double-post gremlin. :lol:

Sober is good!

Welcome to the madness!

And who are you?
You have a severe problem in that you apparently don't play the harmonica. There are several thousand people on this site and I've got them all playing the harmonica. They're nearly all crap, but I'm working on it. I could let you off as long as "the drum" you mention is not a round, sieve-shaped thing with a piece of dead goat stretched across it.



Only kidding. Welcome aboard, ol' chap! :party:

You can't put beer in whistles, it runs out the holes. And there's too many holes for you to catch the beer. Does that answer your signature?

Welcome in there, even if you are sober.

Hi,

Loved and thought himself beloved,

Some of us are guilty on both counts: the crap harmonica thing and the drum thing. :oops:

Er... welcome, Sam. :)

Don't let Steve fool you...I'm lucky if I can play the kazoo let alone the harmonica :P

Some here are sober, some here are otherwise.
Luckily for us, all are welcome.

Hey dude, nice you came over and joined the gang!
Cran, I ain't no ex-member, just not in here that often anymore, as one can tell. ;) Not been playing too much lately, but still love the music. ;)
