Frank wanted to tell you a bit about himself:

I have been playing Irish music on whistle and flute all of my adult life.  In fact, I started on the whistle as a Washington, D.C. schoolchild:  all the public school students were issued sideblown C whistles made by Melody Flute Company, Laurel Maryland.  My father, a jazz sax player, horsed around on a wooden whistle and flute.  The whistle and flute have provided me countless great experiences performing, competing and teaching.  I like to think music was a great antidote to the stress of my workaday life in medicine.  Now that I am (nearly) retired, I can catch up on tune-learning and continue collecting great instruments.  In addition to the D whistle, I own a D and Eb Carbony flute, all great instruments.

Entries are now open for week twenty-seven.  Just make a video playing a Carbony instrument and include it as a reply to this email or directly post it on our Facebook page www.facebook.com/CarbonyCelticWinds you will be entered into the contest, the video with the most likes each week will win a $100 voucher.

Pro tip: ask all your friends to like the video.

Thanks, and keep playing music!
