Affirmative! He's now my favorite-sure to beat Nader anyway! Thanks very much, Davy for posting the links, and to all who made it possible!

Funny, Sam's not an old geezer like I pictured, and Michael's just a youngster too! Great playing by all and nice to be able to make a visual connection to the fluters finally.

Would make a nice DVD set for sure!!!

I know what you mean, Michael, my picture is about 4 years old too.

Thank you for the link. I hurried there to download the program, but apparently we are not allowed to download from the BBC here in the states.

Sigh! :sniffle:
Lousy one!

No probs for the link. I just thought I would share it, incase anyone didn't know about it already.

Does it even let you play it, or can you just not download it?

It's just nicer to see the whole episode in one sitting IMO, rather than having to go through all the wee youtube clips, dis-jointedly.

LOL!


Good to be able to put a face to ya... even if you claim is gone all grizzly in 6 years.

I attribute my youthful complexion to plenty of meat and red wine. :D

Yeah, you're well on your way to geezer status ;-)

Tell us something.: To paraphrase Mark Twain, a gentleman is someone who knows how to play the spoons and doesn't. I'm doing my best to be a gentleman.

Well, Dow's little worship icon summed it up, but man, what a great program. Totally inspiring! Does anyone else want one of Sam's flutes (even more)?

Tee Hee, Rock Stars get to be legends, becoming a Geezer is far superior... do lady flooters become Floot Biddies?

Many thanks David for making this known and thanks to Sanyallana for putting up the videos. I'm one of many who have been waiting to see Meadh's documentary about Sam. Very interesting and worth the wait. Sam Murray is a very interesting and intelligent man that I'd like to meet sometime. Thanks also to Murrough O'Kane for the BBC reference.

Tell us something.: I restore 19th century flutes, specializing in Rudall & Rose, and early American flutes. I occasionally make new flutes. Been at it for about 15 years.

Thanks, been trying to see that program for a year or so!
Now I can see how to make flutes... :D

Just finished watching the whole series. What a treat! The music (including Maiti Jo Sheamuis's singing), the interviews, the flutes the flutes the flutes -- happy sigh. I especially liked the part where he called boxwood an "SOB" (not exactly in those terms) :lol:; I have a feeling he'd have a word or two for The Banana if he saw it today. It was indeed cool to see a video populated by so many boxwood flutes -- I'm so used to being the lone person with the weird amber flute it felt like I was discovering the Banana's lost tribe. And it's REALLY inspiring to hear the sound some of those players were getting out of theirs.

Thanks again to Asturian angel Sanyallana and Davy and Othannen and everyone. :-)

I heard it was a mean monk making flutes pretty.

I'd worry.
