Does any one want to hear some of the Christmas Carols I have been practicing as of late. If any one want to hear some of them I am willing to record them and convert them to mp3’s and upload them here. So does any one want to hear any of them. The ones that[…]
Well today was a bit long. After church today, we had our yearly Octoberfest, then after that we went to First Lutheran in Sharpsburgh. Finally after I and Joe got back we started to practice the Christmas Carols that we are planning to play on Dec 1. We have some work to do. He and[…]
I say this because for the last several days, I have been practicing for 2 to 3 hours a day. I still need to build up the lung capacity, I find at about the 2 or 3 round of a song I start running out of breath and can not keep my lungs filled. Right[…]
I have started to look at music for Christmas. I know of a group from my church that does some singing one day in December. Last year someone said that she would like some music. Well I have gotten the sheet with the songs on them. I am going to see if I can get[…]
Here is yet another song I have played on my Tin Whistle. Stricken Smitten and Afflicted. enjoy >:-D I have been working on this one, it has a lot of 1/8 notes, so I don’t think it really is going to sound too good, but I hope to use this tune to get myself comfortable[…]
I have posted a few mp3’s I have recorded of my playing my tin whistle, and chances are high that I probably will be posting more mp3 of myself playing. The question now is should I just keep putting links to the new mp3’s on my blog or should I put up some more php[…]
I am not very good at the tin whistle yet, but I keep plugging away at it, and with that said here is an attempt by me to play the tune for Ode to Joy (music lovers you might not want to hear this 😉 ). I still need to practice but, I think maybe[…]
Some one asked me to do more posts on the Tin Whistle, so here. I have been playing around with playing Ode to Joy. I think I am doing well, but I am having problems with measure 10 and 11 with the 2 1/8 notes followed by a 1/4 note, and proceeded by a 1/4[…]
Well here is the review of the hymn section of the new LCMS hymnal (LSB) This is coming from a average church member and tin whistle player. This part of my review of the new hymnal is where I will be the most kind to the new hymnal First they did change some of the[…]
Well I was messing around with my Tin Whistle tonight and going though my hymnal (The Lutheran Hymnal) and I ran across the tune Coronae (if you click here you can hear my play it, not well but) I will admit I really like the tune, I am not sure about the text of the[…]

My new Tin Whistle should come in on Monday, I can not want to try it out. I am thinking I might use my old tin whistle as decoration on one of my walls.
