I’ve been fooling around with amazon.com’s very interesting new search engine, A9.com, and entering “tinwhistle” yielded this as the first-ranked image:
Turns out it’s from a website from a European band called “Subway to Sally.”
Discuss.

I thought it might be from Wrestlemania. 
Change his name to The Whistling Warrior, give him a Serpent Village Smithy (it’d be the perfect foreign object), you’d have a champeen on your hands.
Wow. Alley Oop shaved his head (anyone remember that comic strip?).
He’s a mean motor scooter and a bad go-getter.
I could never figure out why musicians (or artists in general?) feel that they have to go to such odd extremes in dress and personal style. Wierd.

I was thinking that about you, Steven. (Just kidding.)
I think the weird style is about exhibitionism. To get on stage and be seen, you have to play music or be a standup comedian. Stage magicians and animal tamers don’t seem too ordinary, either.
I know a number of ITM musicians I think are a bit strange, but it’s not manifested by outlandish dress.

Personally, I can’t figure out why you change a few bits of cloth that you wear, or cut some hair a little differently, and people think it’s so “odd.” It’s really funny how little a change will elicit strong negative reactions sometimes…
I think artists in general like to experiment with cultural reactions like that. Then again, some are just attention-seekers.
Dang!!! Beat me to it, Tony. 
So, does their set list include “Mustang Sally” and “Down in the Sally Gardens”?
Oh, boy, I feel the love. :roll:
My take is that if the music the people have to play is good enough they would not have to resort to outlandish style and get-ups to distract the audience.
Whatever. Just an opinion.
IMHO . . . I have found that “most” people’s outward appearance, in terms of what they do to their hair, what kind of clothes they wear, and so on, is an outward expression of what’s in their heart. As for what motivates people, that is up for interpretation. I’m not saying it’s good or bad . . .
It looks to me like this guy could use a fan or towel—he’s building up a sweat there 
I wondered why we hadn’t heard from Serpent for so long a time…
I’ve found that no matter how good you are, having a really hot chick in your band will increase your fan base
He’s just shirtless. What…you guys have a problem with shirtlessness? Is that it? Huh? 'Fess up. I don’t think he looks so outlandish…a little paunchy maybe…but that’s not a crime.
and reapplied it to his chin…but really Nano, if he were Alley Oop his forearms would be bigger than his biceps. And there’d be a dinosaur behind him.
I don’t know if it’s your eyesight or your memory thats the problem but that aint no chick…,
Slan,
D.
I’m aware…my comment was non sequitur
There is. It’s called a fog machine. 
So is he a good whistle player? WHat kind of music do they play?

That is sooo off topic. :roll:
