Like Kar said, I almost wish I hadn't tried the Casey Burns - there are times I can barely get a note from my fife or the Dixon Duo, but the Burns I was able to just pick up and play. Unreal. I really want one. To the point I may never get a "quality" Low D whistle. (I can still get them in other keys, right?)

The music and the talk was great - and I actually enjoyed the rowdiness that developed as the evening wore on. Just wish I'd had more time to listen to music, and more time to talk to people. Just need to clone myself a couple of times, I guess.

Kar doesn't need to feel bad - there were only about 2 or 3 tunes all evening I could join in. I still had fun ;-)

Tell us something.: I play whistles. I sell whistles. This seems just a BIT excessive to the cause. A sentence or two is WAY less than 100 characters.

Not that! Not right before lunch!

ARGHHHHHHH! I'm ruined. :cry:

Dang, NorCal!!! :moreevil:

I had sort of slid over that in the original post, but now I'm struggling not to imagine Tony naked.

I wonder if any of my wife's medications will turn off my brain... :o

NorCal Musician? I dunno. Goes by the name of Steven. Could be an alias. There's a picture of him in the last year's photos and this year's BoneQuint set of photos. I was unsuccessful at making a working link on my page to Bone's photos, which are very nice. (I'm in one of them.)

What errors are you getting? I just tried this link, and it works:

Time to change your diet, Steven. Or would after lunch have been more to your liking?

I got the link to your photos going, Bone. Thanks. Now I have to get on the tune editing before I get kicked off the computer.

Just when you thought it was safe to come back to the msg board...
I posted the rest of the tunes I recorded from the gathering along with the more insane dialogue.

Bones, I finally figured out I could click on your photos and see larger versions. :o Took me awhile...

My goodness, Feadogin can handle herself on the whistle quite a bit! Very impressive Dusty Windowsill version!
