I've ordered mine as well. From the samples, it sounds like a CD every whistle player should have--can't wait!

Heard the samples... wow.... It's always good to be reminded how much we suck

Please as soon as you know how I could get that CD in Catskills Peter, let me know.

I think you'll find that the whistle sounds better if you blow

.

Great to hear of anyone making a traditional whistle album at all, and this sounds like something special. Looking forward to my next trip to the green and musty to pick up a copy.

Would that be The Late Session?

If so, it will be archived and can be heard over the Internet. (You can listen to it live over the Internet, as well.)

Looked for "listen again" but couldn't find anything. Does it really exist?

But you have to listen to about three minutes of news headlines before you realise you're in the right place. I'm listening to Frank Harte there at the moment.

The Brid bit starts at minute 19 nd goes to minute 24 so if you are short of time ....

Samples are terrific. Just have to work up the guts to put another $30 on my Visa. :roll:

CD arrived today along with a personal note and autugraphed by Brid. This is a wonderful CD for learning and listening. Sometimes it's hard to take just whistle for prolonged periods - this is just whistle and definitely not hard to take. I'm not going to try to describe the style or anything else about it - just listen.

This will also serve another purpose, as it is just whistle music. A neighbor the other day told me that when I first started, she thought we were killing animals in the apartment, but now she stops what she's doing to listen to what she thinks is on the radio (the truth is midway and probably closer to dead animals than Mary Bergin or Brid). I'm going to try playing this CD and see if I can get away with it (yeah right).

Got mine two, and I'm enjoying it very much.

Has anyone posted which tunes are in which keys? yeah, I could (eventually) figure it out myself, but if someone knows. . .

I also want to express gratitude that the CD was packaged in a standard jewel case instead of some fancy, unique packaging, as my jewel case's guts were pretty much destroyed in shipping and I need to move CD and liner notes to a new case.

Mine arrived not half an hour ago and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Really good ITM CDs don't come around nearly often enough and I'm soaking this up!

What does the title mean? Is it something like "Well of Tradition?"

Sounds like a great cd. I am waiting to hear if my fiancee picked one up for me as well as one for Jack.

Have fun at East Durham, y'all.
