ceitagh--

Welcome to the Mudcat. I'm one of the old-timers (I made my first post in '97, and lurked around the perimeter of the group for several months before that), and I want to welcome you to the Mudcat. To be truthful, I didn't read the whistle thread: I'm a banjoist (clawhammer, bluegrass, melodic)and I tend to concentrate, in my performances, predominantly on traditional Appalachian music and old-time string-band pieces. I have tried the whistle, and I can't seem to make it do what I want. All that aside, I want to say that I hope that you'll stick around long enough to get to know us. You are most sincerely welcome.
