Few days ago I exchanged emails with brigitte and colin goldie and it turned out that I live only 20 minutes drive from them!!!
Brigittes emails was one of the friendliest and most welcome, and we are going to meet around march this year!
YAY!!! I find it WAY COOL that I am going to meet this whistle maker in person…for trying out his collection of whistles and see which one I would like.
Can’t wait…go figure!

Man, you are LUCKY! 
I wish I lived close enough to stop in and chat with them.
actually, as far as I can see, I am a WOMAN hehehehehe

Sorry, I grew up in an area where “Man…” was just the way a sentence began, regardless of who you were talking to. Like saying “Wow, you are so lucky…”
haha no harm done I KNEW LOL…but there are still not enough female whistlers about …
greetings
berti
I’m about! And female…I’d say there are quite a few of us. (I also have an Overton…like it.)
Berti,
Make sure you get Colin to play a bit of whistle for you, and Brigitte some Bodhran and Didgeredoo (sp???) while you’re there, they can both play a wee bit 
Loren
Exactly..and I have two Overtons (for now…)
