Wow, thanks for the welcome. Bill Slater was right, it's a great community.
Response to some of the above: Nice to know how to reach you Murray. I'd heard you and Pat had moved somewhere south- whereabouts. Been back to Scotland recently? If so, regards to Ian and ask him to send me a copy of his latest album, he must have at least one by now.
Curmudgeon's such a great name for Tom, thanks for the intro. Brett, & Jeri. Enjoy Mystic.
I didn't make it to this year's lady slipper festivities, I was down in Richmond VA where I spend alot of time, but I've been to lots of other musical gatherings at Tom and Lynn's since I moved back to the states several years ago. I'm also often tooting at the Pressrm.
I agree "penny"whistle is a misnomer but flageolet sounds so floppy/prissy/etc.
Cheers
