… when you talk to Colin & Brigitte on the phone. What wonderful people! And what a treat to hear Colin play his whistles. No wait, that’s my whistles… 
I hope the post hurries up!
If only I had remembered to bring you your whistles from Germany… 
Indeed, Colin and Brigitte are great people and good friends.
Best,
Chris
It’s probably just as well: With the new whistles, how would I have ever gotten the paperwork done that I just finished yesterday?
I too had the wonderful chance to speak with both Colin and Brigette this past weekend. From all the great things I’ve heard about them I was expecting them to be nice people, but, I still wasn’t prepared for how great the experience was. I have to add that Colin sounds great on the whistle even while he’s asleep.
Bloomfield, this must mean that soon you will have another member of the family. What are you expecting? I’m expecting a bouncing baby low F.
Congrats!!
Eric
Two new babies, actually, Eric. I am getting a C (narrow bore) and a mezzo A that sounded just stunning on the phone. First thing Colin played was Miller of Drohan on the A, and even though he ended up playing many tunes, that is the one that is still with me now. There were two C’s to choose from: that was hard. I ended up going with the breathier on: After all, it’s that breath, the grit, that I so love about the Overton sound.
The whistles aren’t even here yet, but it feels like my birthday, I tell you!
näh-näh, näh-näh-näh,
i’ve got them round the cornäh!

I think Colin and Brigitte are wonderful and I want to visit them! Brigitte send me mile-and-a-half-long e-mails and I feel inadequate in my responses. I have a great one from her in my mailbox and I have been meaning to sit down and address all the fun stuff in it…I’ll get to it soon. I spoke to them on the phone once and thoroughly enjoyed it!

Brigitte, auch ich hatte vor 2 Tagen Geburtstag 
Ich kann keine Deutche schprechen!!
So is Amar saying he has 2 birthdays?
Anyway, Bloo, Happy Birthday. I await just such a phone call for my new low F!!!
