Hi Dale...

Don't forget to announce who the high queen on the right is - Mary Bergin! I'm the lady in red on the left! In case anyone is interested, that shot was from our little impromptu concert in the Catskills which I'll be teaching there at Irish Arts this summer if anyone is interested!

All the best,
Joanie Madden

Thanks for the picture, and thanks for all that contagious Irish joy you spread.

Best wishes,

If this was bluegrass, the price of brass & red generation whistles would be skyrocketting right now, as everyone rushed out to get one "just like Mary Bergin played.."

There'd be a whole bunch of earnest theories explaining that the plain brass finish produces a "much more traditional" sound than nickel-plated whistles.

Soon there would be a market for vintage brass generations from the seventies, and prices would climb still higher. Generation would attempt to cash in by issueing a "master model" generation whistle in brass, and would declare the brass & red plastic combination a trade mark, sending their lawyers at any company which attempts an imitation.

Please come back to the Potomac Celtic Festival in Leesburg, Virginia. It is one of the only ones we get to go to each year.

I'm hoping this is where they hatched an idea to make a CD together.

You guessed it:

OBLIGATORY POST!

(((Joanie)))

Remind me the next time I see you, and I'll play a duet of "Sleepwalk" with you.

(Oh, no! What did I just get myself into?)

Le gra,

Ms. Madden,

Please inform your friend that her hands are backward and her bottom pinky is not steadying the whistle.
Furthermore, she looks like she is blowing the whistle out of the side of her mouth instead of centred correctly.
These are essentials for improvement if she ever expects to play lively reels.
