Serpent Music is closed. I made some stupid decisions, and it has caused this to happen. Those decisions have negatively affected others, and I am sorry for that, and will do whatever I can to ameliorate it. The site remains, and carries an announcement a bit more in-depth, but the net is, Serpent Music is no more.

This is sad news Bill,
The good thing about stupid decisions is that everyone makes them - If it weren’t for good friends with big hearts, we’d all be screwed.
Please let us know when the smithy roars back to life!
Bad news. Hope reparations don’t ruin you!!
So sorry to hear it Bill. I know how much whistle making means to you. Hope all things take care of themselves and you get back on your feet in all respects.
If only all folk were as open and honest as you are Bill,
the world would be a much more pleasant place to inhabit.
I hope you will find resolution in yourself and the energy
to go forward. You can, no doubt, already see the support
good people are prepared to give an honest man.
Go neirí an mBothar leat,

I think most everyone wants you to make whistles again. You have so much to contribute. Try not to be too discouraged (some comes with any loss) But you’re well liked and we want you back.
i’m sure sorry to hear that things worked out this way.
Your whistles were strong and gutsy and pretty much unique in my experience.
I hope it turns out you can make them again someday.
Best wishes,

If we don’t do dumb things we don’t learn nuttin’. I myself have a vast personal education. 
Hang in there, learn from experience, re-group and come back fighting.

Hi, Bill.
Although you told me about this some time ago, It’s still sad to see it on the forum.
