Thread Name: The Weekly Walkabout (part 2.)
Subject: RE: The Weekly Walkabout (part 2.)
Will: firstly, genuine thanks for that info. (you seem to know your onions) on video making - most of it new to me (as you can probably tell from IB's link!). But, as for "I hope you took in the lessons of the whistle solo...", I shall keep trying to play like I sing, and sing like I play, just the unadulterated unadorned (unlike this sentence!) tune, with tenor-recorder/English flute and, occasionally, keys; and, for what it's worth, on this, Will, WAV will not waver.

David, you've been gracious enough to acknowledge that I know what I'm doing when I make videos, and I'm gracious enough to say "thank you".

Look now - nobody is telling how you how or what to play on your recorder - play what you like and good luck to you. But please don't push half-formed opinions and knowledge about music on others, and beware - really beware of enfolding your literary and musical efforts within a nationalistic and rigid philosophy that most 'Catters genuinely find abhorrent. That's my honest advice to you. And if you look dispassionately through all the posts in this thread, you'll see that that's the case.

Believe what you want to believe. Write what you want to write. Play what you want to play. Just be very careful of foisting it off on this forum, which is stacked with experts in a huge variety of areas of knowledge. That's genuine advice from the heart.
