I would like to say that this will be the one year anniversary of the removal of renegade cells from certain areas of the anatomy freely talked about by big city mayors, but only shyly referred to by others of us survivors. It makes me no less grateful for complete success to the doctors and attendants, the Veterans Admin. and lots of friends who prayed and played tunes in my behalf. And most of all, eternal gratitude to the ONE Who held me then and now.
I suppose it was inevitable that a retired carpenter who makes whistles would eventually make one of left over construction wood.
I think I can (with clear conscience) picture this here since it isn’t for sale at any price. If I get any cries of foul I will immediately delete this post!
California redwood, brass ferrules and a Whitecap mouthpiece.
I am looking for a proficient whistler who’s willing to borrow it and make me a sound file.
I haven’t have the oppurtunity to play on any of your whistles. For one because I don’t consider me good enough to play one. Just been whistling for a few months now.
But… I just felt I had to say the whistle you made looks lovely! I’m very curious about the sample someone is (hopefuly) going to make.
I’m glad you are doing so well, and I send warm thoughts for your continued health. It’s good to see someone come out of it OK!
We all have memories of those who didn’t–I lost my eldest brother to cancer several years ago–and it’s good to have a reminder that sometimes it really does turn out ok.
That’s a very lovely whistle you made, by the way.
Mack, it was sheer crassness on my part to let WhOA get in the way of a proper response to your update. I hope you’re doing just fine. Many healthy years to you!
I remember when I first came to this board, around the end of December. You send me some very welcoming and friendly messages. Since then, I’ve read many comments about what a good and kind person Mack Hoover is. It’s a pleasure to know you.
