North East Whistle Gathering 2008

Not to give illegal medical advice, but hernia repairs are really quite stable and playing a whistle shouldn't harm it one bit. Especially if they're putting in a synthetic mesh reinforcement. We do those all the time.

Waiting for the northeast to move closer to the Mason-Dixon line.

We need one below the line- way below.

Bump...

Is there any interest in holding this event, or have high gas prices pretty much eliminated it?
I'm still up for it. If we were in our new home, I'd even offer to host it, but maybe next year...

I'm interested. July 20 or 27 would work for me, or sometime after August 8. I prefer Saturday over Sunday, but I can rearrange my work schedule.

As a note of introduction: I've been playing the whistle for nearly two years (and following the board the whole time), and I live in upstate NY.

The past week has been particularly fun for me, since I was able to attend the Old Songs festival and two sessions (Fiddler's Tour and the one at the Parting Glass in Saratoga) for the first time.

Next week: East Durham!

GVOZD-- Hi neighbor. Is that the water tower out near the airport?

I live down in Cohoes. Maybe I'll catch you sometime at the Fiddler's Tour

It's the big red and white checkered one that the airplanes are always swooping around.

I won't be able to attend the Fiddler's tour for a few weeks, but I look forward to meeting you and to being tempted by one of those Eb whistles...

We'll try to hit the Tour when it comes back closer to Troy/Cohoes.
'Course, you're welcome to stop in sometime, if you don't mind our packing mess...

Hey guys it has been a while since I posted here but I thought I would let you know that I cannot make the gathering this year as unlike last year when I was on the east coast during july/august I will not be out there this year. If you didn't know my family is now living in Oregon and that is where I go when I am not at school in Dublin.

Ah, greetings Avery! Hope you are enjoying Dublin (Trinity?). It would be grand to move the Gathering there, no?

Hi Phil not Trinity, Dublin Institute of Technology it would be great to have the gathering out there, but you wouldn't find the space for it in the city its hard enough just trying to find a place to live.
