Kind of hard to imagine, isn’t it. Happy Thanksgiving. Cheers, Cyril.
I’d have so much more money! 
That’s for sure! ha ha!
folks. we got 25 more pages of stuff to finish up before 2007 is over if we’re going to keep a good growth going. with that said, some of you need to pick up the pace. i will be gone for a week, thanksgiving with my family and deer camp with my in-laws. if anything great happens on this website could the moderators please have the courtesy to not delete it before i have the chance to read it. pm me if you have to.
i’m taking my whistles, flutes, and harmonicas with me. that’ll teach 'em.

Thanks Dale!
Wife: Johnny, I told you to stop spending so much time on the gd internet!
Johnny: Dale started it!
Nah, we’d just have more bad whistles.
HAPPY TURKEY (OR TOFURKEY) DAY EVERYONE!!
Imagine there’s no fipple
It isn’t hard to do
No high D’s or low ones
No chiff or tweaking too
Imagine all the people
Whistling with just their lips
Oo oooo, Oo Oo ooo
Imagine there’s no Feadogs
It’s easy if you dare
There’s no Oaks or Waltons
No Overtons or Clares
Imagine all the people
Who’d have to play bodhran
Oo oooo, Oo Oo ooo
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
We hope one day you will join us
And the world can play as one

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA LMAO HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody.
Please have a happy and safe holiday.
I’ll be off the boards for the next couple of days; see ya next week.

Gonna play from a tree stand in the wee hours? That should freak out the hunters in the woods! Perhaps they’ll believe the woods are haunted and leave it to you.
I love the sound of whistle floating through the trees–so haunting and etheral! I’d rather play in the woods than anywhere else!
And, I can’t imagine being without Cand F! As soon as I got my first whistle kit (my daughter bought a Walton’s package at a music shop far from home) I found C and F online. And spent the next hour laughing at Dale’s excellent humor.
From then on all my searches started there.
Thanks, Dale!
No C&F??? Too late… it’s imbedded in the internet archives for all eternity… mwuhahahhahaaaaaaaa …well… until the mother of all viruses takes the whole thing down, of course…
Happy Thanksgiving, my fellow whistling turkeys!
But it would be all for naught if it was not for The Internet. And we all have Al Gore to thank for that, right? 
that and “global warming”…
And SOOO much more time to practice (the five tunes you’d managed to scrounge from somewhere!)
without chiff??? no life…
berti
NEVER!!!
I sure that is what a lot of people would say.
Me I don’t want to at the moment, because I would be really confused.
Why make real-time friends when you have Chiffsters? The latter are smarter, better-traveled and more interesting than most of the folks I meet around here. Nicer, too, than the increasingly cranky and over-worked Bay Area locals.
Sad but true.
And the bonus is: when I actually get to meet them in person, they are very cool. In addition to those who live around here, I have met NancyF, Susanfx, Eskin and Wyobadge. I have fond memories of those encounters…
There must be some kind of invisible Dale-filter that rejects the insincere…Even the ones who think I’m a mis-informed lout have given me a lot to think about over the years and I value it, whether they appreciate that fact or not.
