The Wise Maid

The "Tune of the Month" over at www.whistlethis.com is The Wise Maid. As Rob has been so gracious as to make use of my videos on his site, I thought the least I could do would be to offer my interpretation of this tune. It's not one of my usual "party pieces" but I'd say it is played more than frequently in sessions. I also felt compelled to play with a text editor, hence the snazzy intro!

[MrNarim]

it's just perfect... I wish I could play like that, but there is little information about how to play a whistle in our country :/

[anitamcgahern]

It's neither...it's an Eb

[judoka1976]

Nice video and song. Is that a "c" or "d' whistle?

[tudgemyster]

hi, do you normally play it this fast?

when we play it in session its slower.

Thanks Ryan, I've been using your videos with a young whistle student here as an example of a good flowing style. He loves your version of the Shaskeen.

Best from Toronto.
