First I did an ancient hymn tune:
Then I did one of my "on the fly" compositions. That is, I make it up as I go. Hence, I sometimes make little mistakes on these also.

New Penny Whistle
I got a new penny whistle set from Ellis Whistles, UK It is a great instrument. I am learning the differences in it and my Burke whistle. (This is similar to switching to a different sewing machine - even though they do the same things you have to work a little differently) So there are a few mistakes. Oops..sorry. They aren't bothering me too much, I hope they don't bother you. As for the ball cap, I had to hide my unkempt hair. Ha ha.. it is a lazy morning, what can I say?

Gene, you are amazing. I loved both tunes. You remind me so much of my brother who in his short life, tried and conquered many things. I salute you.

ReplyDeleteMy son just turned 13 and what did he want for his birthday? Celtic music...especially if it featured flute playing. I think I need to get him a penny whistle and book for Christmas...he loves it so much!!
Gene I love this! I can remember penny whistles from when I was a little girl - oops, that dates me! blessings, marlene
