LOLLY ANNOUNCES RELEASE OF HER FIRST CD

Whistle
1

(with Rick’s permission)
Hi all,
I have just released my first CD. Its called The PENNY WHISTLER.
It is American-style (grandma-type) playing of Celtic tunes on
whistles, violin and alto recorder, with light percussion.
It has gentle harmonies and cute melodies that the whole family
will love.
I am joined by fellow C&Fer Karina Kruth on Violin and Low D Whistle.
Its dedicated to my granddaughter and to all grandparents, parents
& their children everywhere.
This means IT IS NOT ITRAD!!
So, who may like it?

  1. Other grandparents and parents to get their children listening to
    simple Celtic music.
  2. New players who want to play along with easy tunes.
  3. Folks who love Celtic but need a relaxing cd, rather than a rousting
    “session” one:
    SO PLEASE LISTEN AND BUY IT HERE:

    Thanks all,
    Lolly in Reno

I like it.

Lolly, I don’t suppose you’d take payment in whistles?

Your music is very upliffting, Lolly. I was just listening to an album you did with Around the Hearth.

For those who asked:
I played a Silkstone PVC D from Paul Hayward in York, England,
on most of the tunes.
Thanks, Lolly

Really lovely! The harmonies are particularly wonderful (something I often miss in Itrad). I want one!

All the best to you Lolly,

I have listened to the whole CD now on CD Baby and I think it’s great! I have ordered it and I am now anxiously waiting for my very own copy to arrive! :smiley:

Best Wishes to a fellow C&Fer!

Cheers,
Kathy :slight_smile:

Lolly:

I have received my copy by mail, and have been listening to it on a lot of different playback systems, ranging from the studio Tannoys, through car speakers, to British LS3/5A’s in my home system.

Nice Job, Lolly. I understand you did all the recording yourself, on your digital audio workstation… There is no harshness to the sound, and the EQ and effects are tastefully done.

It will be a joy to all the children, parents, and grandparents who are fortunate enough to hear it.

Best to you, Lolly.
Byll

Thanks Kathy :slight_smile:

Congratulations Lolly! That was quite an undertaking, and I hope you are pleased with the outcome. Thanks for letting me be a part of it!

I have listened to “The Penny Whistler” now a few times through and I am curious about what Low whistle you are playing Karina? You did a good job! :smiley:

Lolly,

I am really enjoying this light, easy, fun, CD. I have been trying to play along with some of the tunes and I have actually been surprised that I have been able to play some of them. It is a good practice tool for learning by ear. Thanks!

Cheers,
Kathy :slight_smile:

Sorry about the delay in response, Kathy. I have had limited internet acces until now (yippee!). Anyway, I used an Overton low d. :slight_smile: Thanks so much for the kind compliments… :blush:
