Burke Brass Session D with black-tipped head
My oh my, but we think alike. That’s #1 on my Xmas list too 
I’ll probably have to get a Sindt at some point too. Who would have thought the purchase of a $5 Generation D would lead to this nasty whistle habit!
Add Immortality and Excellent Health to this list and I’m good to go.
And more realistically a cocobolo whistle would be swell.
…or just make you swell. A lot of people are allergic to cocobolo, you know…
I did not know this, but I will hope I am not one of them. I’ve never had a wood allergy.
I’d like to add NO ALLERGIES to my christmas wishlist now that you mention them.
Here’s my list.
–a video camera
–some new (bigger) maternity clothes
–baby stuff
–a good microphone
–decent digital recording equipment
Let’s see, my imaginary half-brother, Declan, already asked for world peace, and he’s been a much better boy than I have, so there’s no sense in me asking for that.
There’s no sense in asking for whistles, because as soon as I get a couple of new ones, I just start planning for the next ones I’ll want.
I already have a pink ivory fife on order.
Okay, I’ll be happy with some nice warm socks and a couple of good books.
Half jokingly… be carefull who you ask for baby stuff. I discovered there is a somewhat sinister (not really) network of friends and relatives who will deluge you with baby stuff, most notably bags and boxes of clothes, at every opportunity. All with good intentions but the stuff does pile up. If you are fortunate to have one child of each gender then you get entirely new piles of booty. It may just be a midwest thing but I doubt it. Thankfully my wife is the oldest of 4 daughters and we had the first grandchild. All the sisters are married now and starting to have kids so we get to unload on them. It’s an endless loop
My list is pretty short
Good health for my family
An easy passing for my Grandfather
A few good books
Some snow
Oh yeah
And a Thin Weasel like Jim Durdin’s
Mark V.
P.S. I could also use some decent mics for my minidisc
Sam Said
Lots and lots of nice and nonjudgmental friends
try chiffandfippledotcom, I’ve met quite a few nice and non judgmental people there.
My Christmas List:
A Rose (whistle) or maybe one of those blackbirds Jessies been loving
A Elfsong Low D
A Digitech Vocal 300 pedal
Lunasa/flook CD’s
A nice warm jacket
and lots of henry weinhart root beer 
-Brand-new complete top-quality home-brew setup
I haven’t made beer in years. I was just talking to a few guys here at work about it then I saw this thread and got to thinkin’…
be carefull who you ask for baby stuff. . . .All with good intentions but the stuff does pile up.
There is truth in these words! My sister had two girls prior to our Caitlin being born. To this day we have received 15 garbage bags full of clothes. Caitlin ,who is now 4, will have hand-me downs untill she’s 13! By then the fashion will probably cycle around again the these clothes might be back in fashion!
My xmas list:
An opportunity to Brew again (thanks for the idea Paul!)
the promotion that my wife is in line for
My 2 year old Zachary to catch onto potty training sooner rather than later
a few books
a couple DVDs
and
Pat O’Riordan to keep making whistles for two more years so I can get my Low D!
This most likely won’t happen all at once, but…
I think I can knock off one per year, in that order.
I wouldn’t mind garbage bags full of baby/child clothes!
-boyfriend
-better job
-Freeman tweaked Shaw
-Oneills of Ireland (I think that’s what its called)
-mabey a new keyboard

Cranberry, here is a link to the online version of O’Neill. I just read this over on the flute forum.
Dale has his work cut out.
That avatar looks familiar…what is that from?
Oh, don’t worry, those will come! 
In fact, they will seem to multiply while you’re not looking.
Ditto, the maternity clothes ~ just start asking around. Most of us can’t wait to get rid of them
