These are the little pleasures that make Chiff & Fipple such a joy in my life. Alan Mount has helped moderate these boards and has been the Daddy of the C&F chat room for I don’t know how long. I recently sent him a baritone ukulele as a gift. He then sent me the following file which made me grin, warmed my heart, and did the same for Mrs. Undisputed. Enjoy:
I LOVE ALAN!!
And the song is adorable too! ![]()
He’s really fun to sing along with! I’ll have to play it for my honey when he comes home tonight.
Very nice, Alan.
Nothing wrong with me then: big smile. ![]()
I’m with Cran on the Alan question; truly one of the joys of C&F for me.

I love Alan to death. I think he is grossly under-rated as a moderator, a chat-maintainer, and as a flute-maker, and part of it is his own modesty and virtual invisibility.
Alan is the kind of gentle, tolerant man who would never impose himself unless he absolutely has to, which is good for a moderator, but bad for somebody who wishes to sell flutes! That’s why whenever he is mentioned, I direct people to his site:
Go Alan!! ![]()
Oh, and everybody should go to the site above and listen to the clips of his flutes.
I especially like Eanach Dhuin, even though I don’t know how to say it or what it means. It’s a really pretty rendition.
Aw, how cute. Jonny from Jump, Little Children used to sing this once in a blue moon when they were still touring.
puts more rabbits on Alan’s head in gratitude
I love this song! Been ages since I last listened to it. Thanks for sharing Dale.
(… nice job Alan!)
Actually there is something wrong with my computer and that file is not loading that is why I am not smiling.
I won’t have speaker capability until tomorrow night, but I’ll listen then and I know I’ll be smiling! Alan’s definitely my favorite pun-master and I can’t believe Dale stole my idea of sending him a baritone ukelele!

Hey–you can always send it to me! ![]()
Fecking genius.Made my night and I’mnot even sober.
I love Alan too.
In fact, after hearing that I love everybody! ![]()

Wahoo! I posted a picture at last! Only took me 20 minutes! ![]()

friends, i’ve got this really stupid smile on my face, i’m waving my arms to this silly little song. ![]()
I think Alan’s voice sounds a little bit like Kermit the Frog (really–listen to it again), but in a really good way. ![]()
And I’m waiting to see what Moon has to say, since the song was obviously sung to her. ![]()
Alan rules.
We want a CD!
We want a CD!
We want a CD!
I would expect this to take its place prominently on the Clips and Snips archive (certainly better than some of the stuff there).

I WANT TEN!
