    And in other news: Did you know the recorder flute has over 900 years of musical history, and can be traced back to the mid 11th century? My mentor Sarah Jeffries of The U.K. who now lives in Amsterdam gives a fascinating talk and demonstration of this vastly under appreciated instrument. See link below. ๐Ÿ™‚

    An important point, frankly, I'm kind of taken with the game.

    What a delightful lady and wonderful music. You said mentor, you are taking lessons from her on recorder?

    I actually use recorder too, but mine is a Tascam DR-44wl, digital field recorder๐Ÿ˜‰ I just used it to record 3 hours of great old timey American music at a Labor Day folk camp at a place called Lake Genero in Pennsylvania, tiny man made lake with camping around it and an incredible array of folk musicians.

    My bandmates played tin whistle in my band we had back in Venice Beach, Southwind Irish Band but I stuck with strings. Guitar, mandolin, lap dulcimer, and some concertina, which lasted till my poor Lachenal split the sound board in two, very wide split. So back to strings.
    Now I just compose folkish sounding tunes on guitar, mandolin, dulcimer and keyboard and have now 68 tunes on Soundcloud and I can give you link if you wish. Don't worry, I won't be offended if you don't want link.

    It is refreshing to have music instead of the usual crap posted here.

    I didn't have a clue the tunes they played in the piece she posted were the same notes but different time sigs!

    Yes, though not in person. She gives a whole series of lessons on youtube. If you play at all, her series is well worth subscribing to. As you know, most music store clerks care little for the recorder, thinking of it as a child's instrument.

    Yes, but if it were not for the US there would be no Jiminy Cricket.

    Carlo Collodi might disagree.

    I'd say stick to stuff you know ... but then you would never post.

    Yes that is true but I can tell you the expert tin whistle players in Ireland and here in the US play magic with such a basic instrument. Check out this dude, Kieran Collins, 1980:

    YouTube

    I suck on tin whistle so stick to strings and keyboard.

    Found this from one of my Irish buddies, Cathal McConnell in a duet with Chrisy O'leary:

    YouTube

    Cathal plays in an Irish band called Boys of the Lough

    Here they are in a now defunct video I think from around 1978 when we knew them:

    YouTube

    One of the fiddlers is Aly Bain, a great fiddler!
    They used to hang out at Judy Gameral's house after concerts back in the day. Judy was one of my bandmates in Southwind.
    Cathal is playing flute here, his main instrument but he is a virtuoso also on tin whistle.

    You put words in my mouth yet again. I don't know much about the ICC and would work to stop any effort by the US to corrupt its influence. I didn't start the music aside, just responded to Mchill. Maybe he has some problem with ICC. I certainly don't. Trump wants the US to go isolationist, go it alone against the entire planet. A decidedly stupid POV but we expect nothing else from such a sociopath as Trump. He has ZERO empathy and in fact when other folks like Obama or both Clintons posted tweets about their heart felt emotions about the loss of loved ones, Trump tweets "17 years since Sept 11!" A real sweetheart.

    I just hope against hope democrats take over house and senate with enough votes to impeach this POTUS before any more damage can be done. Even if we do it will be YEARS before his international damage has been corrected.
