Congratulations!! Isn't it amazing?!! Thank you, and yes it is. My husband and I felt the same magic your wife and you are feeling now, just 7 months ago. Terror, insecurity & sleep deprivation are in fact very magical, yes. And as heart-stopping as moments have been, I wouldn't trade it for an...

What a cutie-pie family!! Congratulations, antic and Sherrie...welcome to the world, Elasade! I love her name-- what is the origin and meaning of it? Thank you kindly. Elasade is a variation of Elizabeth. Elizabeth is Hebrew, and I've seen it most commonly translated as 'God her oath', but also as ...

My gorgeous daughter Elasade was born Friday Oct. 29. After a rather rough week mother & daughter are doing fine.

Goofy sings to the College Hornpipe on one of the Disney Sing-along vids: "Oh a sailor's life is the life for me,...." How odd. I'm sure that's the song the Dodo sings in Disney's Alice in Wonderland as Alice is floating in the bottle. Not that it matters. It just seems funny (if I'm reme...

any links to mp3? meir The following link: http://www.kennedy-center.org/programs/millennium/artist_detail.cfm?artist_id=SOERGELDAN# contains two clips of shakuhachi performances at the Kennedy Center. The first clip in particular gives an excellent introduction to the range of music associated wit...

Fred Rose made my fav. Lovely, lovely, lovely.

Any more suggestions? whine whine whine. I liked the trees better than the clouds. I still think the text should be against a solid surface, not a patterned one. I agree with NZ_Chris that all the pages should probably have the same layout & background. And I still think it's worthwhile to have...

It is ridiculously unfair that Hero is opening this week nowhere in this city.

I start to witness the word 'trivia' much more frequently used by C&Fers. I wonder why...Does it have something to do with TV program in USA? :) I'm going out on a limb here, but I think the popular meaning of the word 'trivia' has shifted from "Insignificant or inessential information&quo...

Oh! And the background on your main page makes the text a bit rough to read. You may want to put the text against a solid background to help give it better contrast. - Patrick Its a cool background, though. Maybe just make the text bigger/bold. Or change its color. Whatever. I was going to suggest ...

Is Mr Rose using anything more subtle than that rather lurid gold finish these days? Lurid? Hm. Gotta go w/ Mary on this one. I don't find the appearance 'lurid' at all, I find it quite beautiful. I appreciate that I live in a town where the natives believe purple, green & yellow go together bu...

FWIW, two perfomances at the Kennedy Center by Daniel Nyohaku Soergel may be found at http://www.kennedy-center.org/programs/millennium/artist_detail.cfm?artist_id=SOERGELDAN . The pieces he plays are traditional, and for my money absolutely lovely. He also discusses history the history of the tunes...

Fred's whistles are just lovely in every way. And my wife definitely prefers the sound of the Rose to any other D. In fact she liked it so much she let me get one of his flutes. Not only does she love the sound of the flute, but so does our baby - who's still in the womb. Whenever I play it the baby...

I always feel awkward making suggestions about other people's sites, but since you asked: When I'm purchasing a whistle the sound of the instrument is the most important consideration. So the more sound files you can get on your site, the better. What I like when comparing the sound of different mak...
