Toot

Whistle practice time. Stood in my kitchen for ten minutes playing simple jigs, a little blues, The Irish Rover, and I Vow To Thee My Country – all the while watched with great interest by a Robin in the hawthorn hedge. I wonder what he made of it all.

P. S. I should, of course, have written "robin", not "Robin". It wasn't Batman's sidekick.

@miketorr You can edit your posts xP Of course, that post is rather improved by imagining that Robin sitting in the hedge, listening to you ;D

@eishiya Yes indeed. That's why I didn't edit it :)

@miketorr

My father took up the bodhran many years ago, and one of the ancillary instruments he had (because he went full tilt Celtic) was the tin whistle. I had a lot of fun playing around on it.

@Jorsh It really is great fun! I'll never get to a high standard, but it's surprising how quickly I've learned to play simple things. It helps that I no longer have neighbours who can hear me, of course...
