The broken wing is back to useable and I am making a few whistles. The website hasn’t had any changes for a couple of years and everything there is still available and prices are still the same. I am maturing (81 now) and think I have whistle making to a pretty decent state and of an adequate value.
The big thing to me is not sales or fund raising since I flunk at both, but making things that work and provide satisfaction. My Crowdrise effort did not. I met my goal but it didn’t make a dent in the bigger picture.
I am pulling out of that and offering everything there directly here without the fee that CR adds.
The cause is the same: Operation Revamp AKA The Veterans Art Center.
If you do want to make a donation it is fine, but not necessary.
All we can do is keep giving.
And that is what I think life is All about.
I still play that whistle you made for me and I still remember all the advice you gave me.
Your wing is unbroken.
It makes a ton of sense to me.
I have had one of your “black-tops” in my kit for about 7 years now.
It remains sweet and pure.
Above all, it is quiet.
I use it to learn tunes without waking the house.
I use it to play along at the session when I am unfamiliar with the tune and want to learn on-the-go wihtout disrupting those experienced players.
But most of all, I use it when I want to explore the music just to myself.
Thanks to you Mack, I have learned many tunes I would never had attempted without my black-top.
It kinda got me over my timid self!
