GUEST,kenny	2017 Obit: RIP Alex Green, Scottish whistle player (8)	Obit: RIP Alex Green, Scottish whistle player	23 Dec 17
Very sad to report that Scottish whistle player Alex Green passed away yesterday. Alex was a good friend and musical inspiration to myself and many others over the years, and certainly one of the pioneers and strongest advocates for the playing and acceptance of the tin whistle as a serious instrument in Scottish traditional music. All the more remarkable when you consider that he lost 2 fingers in an accident at an early age, and yet persevered to become such a capable musician. I posted a few examples of his unique style of playing on "Youtube" a wee while back - here they are here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CDYcYhHGPA https://youtu.be/NUnlV53bMWM https://youtu.be/LhQRowMcQOc My condolences to his family, and the many friends and musicians who knew him and enjoyed his company, friendship, wit and music over the years. May he rest in peace. Kenny Hadden [ Aberdeen ]
