Well, if Fionn had been a cailĂn instead of a buachaill, that would have been alright. I just would have finished eating the foot in my mouth, and started on the other. But I would have also been a bit surprised as s/he would have used the feminine form of that name.
Now, buachaill, are we being just a bit picky???? I agree that posture is important to proper breath control, but I have seen some whistle wizards slouched in chairs in such a way that I wondered how in hell they got a dacent breath of air. Despite a few shortcomings, this is still the best tuition available. Hits all the important buttons. And when next I am in Ireland, let's have a jar and compare notes.
