I have owned the c.d album of the same title for six months or more,but I decided last sunday evening to finally purchase the video tape version,from the ‘Book Clearing House’ via ‘the Pennywhistler’s Press’ website.Being an impatient kind of bloke,I ordered the video priority post,and it arrived today! I’ve just watched it through,and am charmed by Micho’s performance and his interview with Dr. Mick Moloney of Villanova University.Whilst I enjoy the Micho albums that I own so far,it is a further revelation to actually watch the man play,for example,the camera zooms into Micho’s feet and you can see him tapping time on both the beat and the off-beat.The music is well recorded,in front of a small but enthiusiastic audience-Micho’s flute playing is particularly well recorded(an Eb flute?-I must re-check).Micho plays nickel Generations-a ‘C’ and ‘Eb’? (I must pay closer scrutiny on my next play through,which will be soon!)This is a thoroughly enjoyable,and educational video-both musically and historically,as Micho talks about his upbringing,his start in music and peoples attitude to ‘the music’ over the years.I would recommend this video as a treat to all traditional music fans.Lovely stuff! 
Yes, Eb flute. Note to all: the tracks on the video and CD are not identical. For instance, the flute track used on “Wooden Flute Obsession” is only on the video (and, fortunately, also recorded to DAT).

I love that video. I got it long before I could play, and it’s been an inspiration many times. He makes it all look so easy.
Yes BlackHawk, Micho was definately comes across as a ‘Natural’ performer,but in his interview he said that when he started playing the whistle aged around 11,the scale mystified him (mind you, from what I can gather,he is essentially ‘self taught’,though obviously influenced by the music that went on around him).I’ve previously read that he found it difficult,at least initially,to pick up new tunes,So this leads me to the conclusion that his ‘relaxed mastery’ of whistle and flute belies a lot of dedicated hard work and practice! He was Brilliant!
