Many thanks to everyone for their kind words. Lulu was a fine cat and a fine friend. And while opinion seems divided, I'm sure she was a whistle lover. (High whistles only, I'd just started working with low whistles and she had no interest.) Sometimes when she was outside and it was getting dark, an...

I'll get the hard part out of the way first. Ten days ago we lost out 12 yr old cat, Lulu, to a coyote in the back yard. :sniffle: I've been playing the whistle for less than a year.

Good morning I'm new to C&F and new to playing the whistle. I saw the posts on the passing of Andy McGann and the information and pictures on his influence on Irish music in an earlier time. Besides the music, one of the attractions of the whistle is it's links to the past and, for me, to my Iri...
