Road to Lisdoonvarna

Hello everyone!

So today I had a bit of time to play with my new (and old) Whistles.

First conclusion: I used to be a bad player, but now I'm really really bad at it! The whole time without whistling can really be heard.
And so...I tried to play Road to Lisdoonvarna, which I never really learned the last part of the tune anyway. I don't know why, but I just didn't.

I got some music sheet from the net, started following it and though "this is wrong, I don't remember it like this" and magic happened! The tune came to my mind (might as well as say fingers), and I could play it by heart. I learned the last part of the tune and now it is complete.
The only if in the story is that all those squeaks that shouldn't be there, now are again, and so I only have one choice: practise.

Anyway, I played until I ran out of breath (that's untrained too, and let me tell you that you can feel it!) which means I played for about an hour or so.

Even with the disappointment of being almost "back to the beginning", I enjoyed playing and in the end I guess that's the most important thing! Having fun and feel good after a tiring day at work.

Oh, you might have noticed that the banner changed, well probably that isn't the final one, but I'll keep tweaking the blog here and there when I have a bit of free time (and I'm not whistling)

That's all for now,

Cheers!
