Ralph has DEFECTED!!!!!!!!!

Post by Jerry Freeman »

Oh, NOOOO!

I was visiting Colin Goldie's Facebook page, and look what I found!

This is terrible. All of Global Penny Whistle Tweaking Research and Production Consortium's secrets, gone to the competition.

And I trusted Ralph. He seemed such a conscientious mouse.

I blame Bloomfield.

Best wishes,
Jerry

Tell us something.: Love playing trumpet and modern flute at church as well as Irish trad flute in a band. Been playing Irish trad and 18th century period music for about 15 years.

I knew we couldn't trust those beady little eyes! Never let a mouse toot on your whistle. This is how bubonic plague was spread during the Middle Ages. Mice practicing their tonguing on humans' whistles. I am devastated.

It is a clever ruse by Jerry to provide a bit of cover for Ralph.
Ralph is actually a double agent sent with minor trinkets of information to Colin
in hopes of bringing back the Goldie.

Strangest nose I've ever seen on a mouse.

It's my opinion - highly regarded (and sometimes not) by me. Peace y'all.

Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.

Just like Duke (the dog in Bush's Beans commercial) - trying to sell out to the competition.

Tell us something.: Been playing Irish music for years, now I want to learn more about whistles to help teach my kids. Currently I play the Anglo Concertina and B/C accordion.

Wait, I talked to Ralph... and he explained it all to me.

Jerry, you are seriously maligning that poor rodent. He is simply investigating the next great challenge in whistle tweaking. Anyone can take a cheapie and make it sound good, but he knows you need the ultimate challenge... to take a high end whistle and tweak it such that we will all swoon with how good it is...

Next up, Copelands and Burkes....

The Pied Piper of Hamelin actually got rid of the hamsters. Thats why there are none left there. It is only a hamster getting it's own back.
They do carry a grudge you know.

Shhhhh. It's all part of my Plan for Whistle World Domination.

1a. Drive Phil Hardy out of his mind.
1b. Get whistle-research mice to defect.
1c. Get my very own interns.
2. ???
3. Whistle World Domination!
