Jerry-Actually I think that Bill D was claiming that Bruce O is an expert when he stated that Bruce had put in 30 plus years into research.....Bruce O made no attempt to deny it. It would appear that the professor pointed out the errors in his ramblings. My guess is that the Professor is a linguist....perhaps? Bill D- you get points for your humor but you would appear to be wrong about Mulligan,Bruce O. and searchers . Anon- great stuff. Got anything on the origins of the Tinwhistle? Dan M- sorry they drove you out. Maybe we can talk Celtic music in another thread some time. I have seen your postings, you seem to have some good tunes.
