Calling on the collective memory

Whistle
1

Hi, folks. I haven’t posted here in a long time, but could use some help now. For some reason, my list of bookmarks in Firefox became corrupted last week. I now have two copies of all folders A-M and have lost everything else - including my list of whistle related bookmarks way down in the Ws. They were things like the ABC tune finder (which I can find again no problem), the site that converts ABC format tunes into readable music, and all of the sheet music/tutorial sites that I had collected to help me practice my low D whistle.

So… if you have a favorite URL or two that you’d be willing to donate to the cause, I’d sure appreciate it!

Thanks,

Bill

Well, here are some more. I was lazy and didn’t check for repeats. I have a big problem keeping bookmarks organized. I’m not sure all these are good, but I think they are. There are just too many!!! Fiddler’s Companion—the fourth one down—is probably the one I use most.
