Looking Pretty

I wonder when I play the whistle, do I look as gorgeous as Andrea Corr when she plays hers??

-Its very likely you do, for a whistle always accentuates one's beauty, rather like the effect of ketchup on fine cuisine. As an aunt says: "There must be something ketchup doesn't improve, but I haven't found it yet." So it is with whistles.

-I wouldn't look twice at Andrea, but the whistle adds a special dimension to her. She does appear to need a good meal, several in fact. She is cute after all, but if we meet, my first act will be to feed her, and secondly, to find the poor thing a garment with sleeves. -Hungry, poor, ill-clad, playing whistle for a thin stream of alms cast grudgingly from the tight fists of a harsh world- How cruel the vicissitudes of fate!
-Andrea, let me assist you in your time of need.

My dad said that when he was a child, and they'd go to Sunday dinner at his grandparents my great grandfather would put catsup on his food, and then ladle flour gravy over his whole plate, and tsir everything together, and eat it that way.

Great Grandpa was always extolling the virtues of "flawr gravy."

Oh gee. There I was thinking that was Strand and about to ask for a photo of Andrea for comparison.

Well, this photo isn't recent...I think she's a bit more meatier then she is here..which is a good thing!

Haha, we should all get pictures and post them of us playing our whistles and we can compare ourselves with Miss Andrea...

I don't have any pics,but once I spotted myself in the mirror while playing...my face looks like a bloated fish!

How does she do it?? Frustrating...

perhaps she doesn't play low whistle. perhaps she's practiced biting the inside of her cheeks while blowing.

She's way too skinny for sure! If she played anything larger than a C, it might pull her over. She needs a hearty plate of Bangers and Mash and a few pints to put some lovely meat on them bones!

Man, she has a really big head!

You know what, I don't think she plays the Waltons little black anymore. Now it's been the Generations and the Waltons brass

Here is a VERY recent photo of a much healthier looking Andrea...playing a Generation!
