I haven't read through the entire thread so this may have been answered already... Eric Rigler plays whistle and pipes on the Titanic S/T, and his whistles of choice are Kerry whistles. I inquired with him through his website last year(http://www.badhaggis.com) and he wrote back that the whistle use...

Try anything by Jean-Michel Veillon (he plays flute).
For kicks, try Bagad Kemper, a crazy group from Quemper, Brittany. You can find those CD's at http://www.tayberry.com/index.html
Good Luck!

Soooo... although I have fulfilled the requirements to become a citizen, I will not be allowed to do so until the INS locates the mystery file, requisitions it and looks at what is inside. This process may take up to six additional months. Which sort of puts a crimp on my plans to vote next fall. P...

This delay is that "covertly" part I mentioned before... :twisted: But seriously, why does one person need have two files? An efficient (aye, there's the rub) organization would have just one file per person. So sorry about the SNAFU; we could have used another active voter. Depending on ...

Dear friends and whistling colleagues, Let me put an end to the unbearable suspense: I know you are all waiting with bated breath to find out the outcome of my citizenship interview. I have good news and I have bad news. The good news is I passed all tests. The civics test was five questions any 10-...

pthouron, Not to worry about the INS interview. My wife passed with flying colors and she could not speak English very well at the time (25 years ago). We did, however, have an interesting interview before the final test. If you have seen the movie "Green Card" then you know how it went. ...

Which has funny consequences: she eats like a horse, constantly asks for food, presumably because she forgets she just ate... the thing is: she just doesn't put on any weight :boggle: Old cats are prone to hyperthyroidism which results in that eating and not gaining weight thing. They also often dr...

Eh, bonne chance, mon ami. Je te souhaite merde, eh? :) This, I'm assuming, is a nice(?) thing to say Bloomie? I'm sure there's a subtle cultural nuance, I'm missing. Yeah.

Always was partial to the Renault Alpine myself. My uncle drove one in rallies and used to take me along on trial runs.

What exactly does rear wheel drive get you? I know it's part of the classic sports car and that it affects handling, but I don't know why? A different driving experience. Most sports cars are rear wheel drive. It leads to interesting adjustments, such as having to accelerate out of a curve rather t...
