Meehan's Ale House is a terrific place to bring the family, too!

Hi Bill,

I have been looking for whistle lessons in the Atlanta area. I have a Susato high D whistle and a low D whistle. I struggle a bit with the low D and I'd like some pointers. Any chance of a lesson? Or should I wander into Meehan's sometime?

Tell us something.: How doth the little crocodile
     Improve his shining tail,
And pour the waters of the Nile
     On every golden scale!

How cheerfully he seems to grin,
     How neatly spreads his claws,
And welcomes little fishes in,
     With gently smiling jaws!

Yeah, what Jeff said. As to lessons, I reckon you could meet a whistle teacher there, too. There are certainly some highly talented folks at the Harp. Jeff is also way modest. He knows everything Irish musical, whether or not he admits it. I, on the other hand, just make the things. I love them dearly, but I am still, after 6 years learning to play, I still sound very much like a beginner. I'd be happy to teach you the scales, and maybe some guitar, banjo, or mando? LOL

So yeah, come to sessions. If you want to chat about it, go click the Contact Us button on my website and drop me an email through there (all fields are optionsl). If you give me an email addy, I'll respond with my phone number. Not trying to be mysterious - just don't publish anything that spammers can get. Get way enough of that! O.O

Cheers,
Bill
