I celebrated a birthday that's a 3 weeks back now and I amassed a small collection of spendable coinage Party Time 😛 Having this access coinage created a sudden need to spend as the coinage was burning holes in my pocketssss but I persevered and spent time figuring out what I would not regret buying afterwards first on my list was a proper reading device Di Dah! enter my Kindle keyboard with leather bound case and built in light, I work with crt and backlit monitors a lot so no back lights for me! Paper white E ink thinghy was the mutts golden ones and I'm enjoying reading again (it's so real I've just have to get over the habit of trying to turn the page lolz)

I NEXT addressed some WHOAD Symtoms not a lot but a little. I purchased Bb, C & G Generation whistles and 3 much needed 3m instrument cables. The whistles arrived in the Ebay special padded jiffy bag I had a squeeze first and was thinking 2 whistles 1 missing? and then open the package now someone should have told me the G whistle is a funny little tinker to look at I near guffawed in lolz on the spot 😯 The "Bb" it's a pretty big whistle and can get me out of breathe easily but sounds marvelously breathy. The C whistle I'm not so keen on but still it's in C that's good enough for now.

So with this little collection of different keyed whistles I've started practicing lifting each at least once every practice session. I find consistently when moving from D to Bb that I loose how a newish tune should sound I have to break the tune down again and pay attention to how the tune is formed going slowly until I get the tune reformed in Bb. Weird I think? anyways that process of switching keys helped me a lot today while I was working on Tarmon's Polka from Bill Och's Whistle tutorial (page 54) Working slowly and switching keys kept me super-duper engaged to the task at hand before the end of 2 hours practice I was listening to Bill and going yeah I'm starting to sound just a little like him seriously... 😎

so if you haven't 😮 at this point good luck and keep whistling 😀

Congratulations (even if i am late)

I am looking forward to get my generation set which i wanted to order last month already but had to spent money for other things first, so i may have to wait until x mas? who knows 😉

I have 3 C whistles and do like them all a lot, but even the C whistles surprise me sometimes how much more air i need to play them, ... i have to find out how a Bb or A or even low F Whistle "feels like" ... my next ones have to be "not D or C and deeper"

good luck for the next year and keep whistling 😉
