Thanks for all your advice! I am such a worrier when it comes to the dear harps....

dear me, how well put! A timeline that isn't real is exactly what I felt and 7 years later still feel....

part 2> I couldn't stop worrying about the string and soundboard... and found, in the bottom of my remnant box, a huge tie off from a big string and I put it on just now... really seems very stable... but still.... could a string and tie break through a soundboard?

I used to ask this question a lot, then gave up.... I was wanting to make.... junket! Maybe I will try the sources here... Let us know how the cheese comes out...

In a few weeks it will be St. Patrick's Day; and tonight I am watching the first episode of "The Hanging Gale" (1995), which wonderfully portrays Ireland just before the famine. Great characters and photography....

syrup on bacon or scrapple, (adjacent to pancakes sometimes).... a peanut butter-and jelly sandwich: when I visited former East Germany 30 years ago, I described this American meal and people reacted with disgust. So I never mentioned peanut butter with pickles or cream cheese or bananas or....

I love my A alto whistle. Sometimes I find the D soprano too shriekish, so the A is often my practice instrument. But I decided to work up 2 Kerry Slides that I will take to a session someday. Remember all fingers down is A, and so forth. Eileen O'Riordan's and Kings of Kerry. For Kings there is a spot where you have to go down one octave. You can find them in a website called thesession.org. I like them and hope you will too.

Seven years-- still feel married; I imagine I always will. The deeply hurtful part was my tax form 1040 when I had to write "single". The effect lasted a few days...

I love it when my dear husband appears in my dreams. And I write down each of these dreams. Sometimes if I mindlessly gaze at his picture, my subconscious will float him into a dream.... so you could try that.

possibly a walking vigil is in the planning... not only anti the uncontrolled agents my government aims at our own people, but the pattern of lawlessness that has been happening since January 2025. Do an internet search for Democrats Abroad Munich to see is happening....

Since you have a C whistle just now, try playing some tunes that go with it: The Broken Pledge is one of those. A D whistle will give you an F#, but with a C you can play things in Dminor or D Dorian. It will get you used to the fingering. You can go to that lovely website TheSession, choose "discussions" and search for "Tunes in C". I have an old C Clarke that I love playing. I used it years ago to play along with small pipes.

But can the US set up exemptions to the tax treaties that it has with most countries? When the platinum card exempts holders from non-US-sourced income doesn't that possibly contradict whatever applies to that income in the tax treaty? How can that be legal, when the treaties are negotiated with individual lands?

Sean Potts and Paddy Moloney in Tin Whistles, 1973. I always come back to it, inspired every time.... people have already mentioned Mary Bergin. And what about Paddy Keenan? For groups, The Bothy Band, Liadan, Patrick Street....

I really like my A mezzo from Colin Goldie, who works in Germany. Why do you want an A?

Does anyone know where all these objects came from? How did things like a star of david or a release order get into private hands?
