• Speaking of pipering, yesterday a young hippie sort of fellow was asking about it, and I mentioned in the course of things that first taking up serious Irish-style pennywhistle for at least a couple of years would be a good idea. He asked, “How about recorder?” I’m serious. I mean, sure, it was a fair enough question, but he OWNS a RECORDER. Probably noodles around on it in the park, too. But I was nice to the poor lad and didn’t tell him that it was probably too late for him and he should probably just hang up the idea already.

maybe we should set up some sort of swap-your-recorder-for-a-whistle program, like the police will give you cash for your gun… keep these things off the street and out of the hands of our youths.

He was telling me how “identical” Irish and Swedish trad are, too. Some days all you can do is nod your head and blandly agree…
