Wouldn't miss it for the world. I'll be there for all three days at least. Luckily my son has room for me on his couch as long as I take him to the concerts and sessions. He even allows me an obligatory stop at Music Folks since its so near the Saturday daytime site, provided I provide a round for h...

Oh you peasants. Where is your faith? How dare you question such a well known authority who had just completed his 5,000th Post.

So here I am just yesterday beginning to master 'Butterfly' and you folks have to start putting out these long lists. Sigh! So many tunes, so little time and talent. Its hard to keep thinking young with all these weighty matters to deal with.

You'll have even more fun this year John if you keep better care of your car keys. :roll: Hope you can make it to the sessions too. The weather this year may be even better than last and it sounds like the events definately will be.

If you touch the vibrating end of the tunning fork to your nose you will sneeze and clear your nose. And I'm frequently asked by family members 'What possible good can ever come from the time you spend reading posts on those whistle boards?' I've wasted untold dollars on over the counter medication...

Great design. I'm glad mine's on reserve. There won't be any of those T-shirts lying around at check-in.

That's also a very good article about Tional and of course Mike Mullins.

Should be another great weekend.

Got my confirmation back this morning. Glad I ordered the Tshirt my big dog collection is wearing thin. I'm looking forward to the whistle classes and the turkey sandwich too.

I've had my brass pro session for two years now. Its the only high end whistle I have and I've had no reason to seriously look for anything else. I tried both aluminum and brass before I purchased and fell in love with the brass. Sorry I can't give a bunch of technical reasons, just like the way it ...
