Does he play a or g?
He plays them all ![]()
He has Bb and D (and I think Eb) wooden flutes and many other bamboo flutes in various keys… As far as I know, he also has every major whistle key.

Hi
Brian’s been using lots of high Eb and Db recently. Also uses quite a bit of A/Bb and low F…
Hope this helps
When I saw him recently in Milwaukee, he was definately using keys that I can’t find on any of my whistles. I loved every key he used that night. A great performance!
Brian also had a disquieting tendancy to write tunes in wierd time signatures like 7/8. So if you hear tunes in 7/8 on an Ab whistle, chances are it’s Brian.
His whistle case is so big, I mistook it for a piano accordian case.
Huh?
Ditto - was this thread getting too argumentative or something?
(couldn’t spell controversial)
Sorry, i can’t!
Maybe it’s because you used the a-word, Martin (not argumentative, the other one).
Asking for it to be deleted is asking for it to be bumped again and again forever and ever, amen.
I’ll do my part here.
I do worry about the disquietingly fetishistic nature with which whistle players admire the size of each other’s instruments. Just a female perspective on the phenomenon. Mind you, it does sound like he has a big one.

Oh I see. This is the incredible never-ending changing question thread. The questions keep changing until teh answers look funny. ![]()
In reply to your original question:
Just stir fry the onions and then add the spices. I usually use my own mix of koriander, cumin and curcuma.
Good luck!

New avatar looks good Pix. I must follow the instructions someone gave me to make one! So ok I’ll kome to dinner but only if you use Coriander and something else apart from onions.
Do you whistle while you cook?
