Waltons. Then there is a guy in Wicklow who is close friends with Joe McKenna the Ulliean Piper who makes pipes, flutes, and Possibly whistles. Wicklow borders Dublin County, and Captain Anderson knows him also, you could check with him. Or Captain Anderson, when reading this may volunteer contact i...

There are two RV parks, Lynchs Pot'O Gold, and another one whose name eludes me at the moment. You could look it up, though. It it probably listed in Cairo, NY, as opposed to E. Durham. And the town is NOTHING but Irish Bars and Hotels, and most are not too expensive. And there is the town of Windha...

I think I am in a little over my head!! However, I would like to thank everyone who responded in a positive way, and especially Glauber, who is a witness to what really goes on! As (the late, lamented)Johnny Cunninghams Grandmother used to say: "You are born in pain; you live in fear; and, you ...

No Website, but I can forward you some info. Thanks for asking, take care, Hielandman

Hello, and Happy New Year(Hogmany to those of you in Scotland, and Amar, wherever he is!). I am re-minding the Wide World of Whistlers that I am still here, and still leather working, and still making whistle bags for those of you who may be interested. And for the new members I haven't met......Hel...

Glauber, thank you very much for the nice words, and the posting you did,and Nor-cal, thank you for tipping me off!

He lives in California, I thought in the San Francisco area. Doesn't he play around there more often?

Ava, good news and bad news. In answer to your question, brass does not contain nickel, it is a combination of copper and zinc.(bronze is copper and tin). That is the good news. The bad news, is that apparently most of the whistling community doesn't realize this, but Stainless steel is mostly a com...

Page 44 of the Oak publications, Miles Krassen edition of "Oneills music of Iredland". but it has its anglicized name, "Black Donald the Piper", key of g, suitable for D whistle, good tune, have fun!

Not meaning any disrespect, but didn't you used to be on "Adam Twelve?"

A woman friend of mine who plays whistle, fiddle, and guitar in a number of genres plays "Shady Grove" on a B-flat whistle and it is wonderful, try it!

For a long time(all their commericial lives that I know of, except for the last 15 years or so) all Clarke made was the C whistle. I've had,and still have, a number or them, and the only tweaking I ever did was taking the hot table (red hot) table knife and sticking it into the airway of the mouthpi...

Thanks, squidgirl(are you a Newfoundlander from the squid jigging grounds?) for bringing up this topic, I hava pile of old whistles that never played right, and this sounds like the trick! I have almost always tried to play them before I bought them, but I know this isn't always posssible, as I too ...

and oh, I forgot, Charlene, I think the album may have been recorded in 1964, and not released until 1966, or something like that. Did you know that Glen Campbell (as Billy Connolly once said "in Scotland that is a place!) was the guitar player on that album? He was doing a lot of studio work a...
