Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

Well, now that I've actually read the August 9 newsletter, I can give a serious critique.

It is without question the best written, most informative, funniest and all around best newsletter I've ever read. In fact, it is possibly the best piece of writing of any kind I've ever read. Dale Wisely is a genius.

Best wishes,
Jerry

P.S. Dale, please feel free to use the above statement in any way you like.

Me love Testcard, too.
And thanks, Dale, for mentioning Brian Wilson, one of the most over-looked composers/musicians in the history of music. A true genius.

If memory serves me well, Dale, you and I have discussed Brian at length before. It's nice to know someone as versed in music as you, along with a few fellows I've played music with, appreciate the man and his music.

Can't help imagining Ali G saying this when I read this line. Have read it 9 times, and it doesn't stop. :really:

Anyways Dale, congratulations on the most excellent newsletter. If I weren't a subscriber already, I would subscribe.

Doolin for Kwela

Post by bjs »

No need for contorted fingering and head leaning with a Doolin two piece! Could this be a new way to avoid half holing?
