These are some of my favorite links. . .

Whistle

I tend to spend a lot of time on certain sites, and wanted a way to share my favorite locations (usually musical, but not always) and get input on other places to surf.

Right now I’m spending 90% of my web-hours on http://www.chiffandfipple.com and it’s associated links, http://www.thesession.org, and http://www.mp3.com, and (nonmusically)
http://www.cs.rice.edu/~ssiyer/minstrels/index.html

Any other good places to hang out, get good stuff, learn something?

Ah! “The Sound of Music”

These are a few of my favourite things… links? ?

I enjoyed the one on poetry and have bookmarked it for home. There was a lot there I have forgotten about.

Thanks for the memories

Gosh! Lucky for us there are sooo many!

I’ve collected quite a few and absolutely addicted to some of them. Sometimes I’m not sure if I’m happy about checking out new sites 'cause it takes time away from actually playing…

Does anybody know a good word for this type of addiction (all other whistle related activities that don’t include playing)??? :smiley:


Okay here are some more links:

Tutorials:

http://www.rogermillington.com/siamsa/brosteve/index.html
Good explanation on technique and ornamentation with samples. Just love this one as a reference and tutorial.

http://www.whistletutor.com/
One in progress, but I like it a lot already.

http://www.whistleworkshop.co.uk/
So much info on this one, takes forever to read it all. I’ll give this one some serious attention soon.

Tune related sites:

http://fingertrip.net/whistle/index.html
What can I say, it’s inspirational.

Another place to hear some of the people on this board.

http://www.geocities.com/Nashville/Stage/4444/
This one hasn’t been updated for a long while. It contains transcriptions of The Corrs first two albums. I love Paddy McCarthy (live Wembley) and Joy of Live.

http://user.tninet.se/~wvi171j/slide.html

http://www.verinet.com/~ktcrumb/tunes/index.php3

http://mothra.nts.uci.edu/~dhwalker/dixie/

And there are so many more, I could go on and on. Most on the board probably know these sites, but hopefully others will like them.
One more, because this one is to cool not to mention:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/folk/acoustic_club/launch.shtml

Have fun!!!
