Hi everyone! I’m writing over the din of many whistlers from my sis-in-law’s home in Canada. I brought a bunch with me and seem to have set off something. I’ve heard comments like, “I’m going to write this into a piece for the band” (my sax playing bro-in-law). My very talented sister in law (piano) has decided that the guitar is not for her. (She’s been taking lessons and donesn’t like it). The whistle is for her. After some incredibly rapid progress (thanks to previous musical knowledge) we all went off to find the music bits of Titanic.
…And I was afrid they’d think the gifts were silly, eh?
Why you moved from Ireland to Texas–oh well,–guess that’s your business.
Welcome and thanks for bringing more folks to the world of whistling.

…And I was afrid they’d think the gifts were silly, eh?
A few people on another board I post on have voiced an interest in the whistle, just since I started playing! Now I’m not very musically inclined, but a few of the people really are quite talented and play other instruments. I’ve already heard some soundbytes sent to me from one person on the board and look forward to hearing from others.
Other people on the board think that we’ve gone slightly mad and have even checked out C&F and think we’ve become insnared by some sort of whistle cult! LOL

Hi Barney,
28 years ago the economy in Ireland wasn’t all that good. The general atmosphere in the country was very parochial. The weather was as bad as it is now. And young men have a hankering for adventure. That’s why I split.
