The Mission, Should I Choose To Accept It

So... I'm learning to play the tin whistle, and the online resources are scattered near and far on the Interweb. It made sense to start a blog where I can archive and organize the various sites that I use for information, instruction, and practice.

My plans for this site involve three types of additions.

  • First, as I come across useful, informative sites about the tin whistle, I plan to add them to the link categories in the right column.
  • Second, if I find a link or other online material worthy of a post, I'll write about it and add relevant audio/video files.
  • Finally, as I work on tunes and slowly add them to my repertoire, I plan to centralize links and materials for each song. In this latter case, I'll use the song title in the post title and tag the post as "tune" or some such keyword so that I can easily search the site and get a complete listing of tunes on which I've worked.
The latter sort of posts will likely be the most extensive, as I can add materials such as: historical information about the tunes, relevant links, sheet music, video and audio files for reference and practice, and insights about playing that derive from learning or practicing a tune.
