kevin m.,

Please check your PMs.

And thanks to you, Kevin, for coming by and playing a few tunes with us. Some of our best sessions happen when we have visitors from out of town participate. As you pointed out, it was quite crowded this week, but that makes for good practice at keeping our elbows tucked in, and at using the middle ...

There are a couple of old English whistles discussed here . This is an 1860s-vintage Barnett Samuel G whistle that a friend gave me in January: http://members.cox.net/jmparker/BSG.jpg http://members.cox.net/jmparker/BSlabel.jpg After a considerable effort, I got it playing again, but since it has a ...

Nope. I haven't gotten one since February.

tok, you and I played together a bit when you brought that lovely B set down to The Field about a year and a half ago. Is that the same set that Lorenzo later bought?

Yes, Phil lives in Seattle. I don't think he's been down here for at least five years, or I would have dragged him down to our session at The Field: http://www.thefield.com/index.html If your travels take you to San Diego, please come and join us, Sundays 7-10 p.m. I don't recall what pipes Phil is ...

Phil White is one of the best pipers on the left coast, no doubt. I've known him since 1979, and played in two bands with him; Dogs Among the Bushes in the early '80s, and briefly and much more recently as Bruscar Ban ('White Trash' in Gaelic). I was hoping to lay hands on (and post) a photo from ou...

'Fire in the Hearth' was written by a Scottish accordion player, Freeland Barbour. It's also on John Skelton's 1993 recording "One at a Time", PAN Records 146. I played this air at my father's memorial service in 1999, on an early-'80s Copeland cocobolo D flute, accompanied by a pipe organ...

There's an uncanny resemblance, I agree.

But as Michael has mentioned, we'd be happy to see any of you drop by if you're ever in San Diego on a Sunday. They treat us very well indeed at The Field.

Thanks for posting the URL, Michael. I'm the whistle player in the green shirt right when the announcer says "traditional Irish dancers". That's a Copeland brass D. The video compression makes it pretty hard to tell for sure, and I hope you'll correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks to me li...

Test

Yes, it would appear that yours is a bit newer. Mine definitely doesn't have the '& Son' bit on the label, as your does. Just out of curiosity, where did you look up the history of the company? I found a few hits with a Google search, but nothing as detailed as your information. I did some work ...

Hi Patrick, Recently I was given a gift of a Barnett Samuel high G tinwhistle, which sounds like it must be quite similar to yours. It has a soldered band label with a trademark (an orchestral triangle and striker with the letters 'BS' inside), the word 'DULCET," and the name 'BARNETT SAMUEL LO...
