Pennywhistle tunes

Cherish The Ladies
Website ~ If you're not familiar with CTL, you're in for a real treat. To say that
this all-woman group is full of talent is a vast understatement. The group includes the
legendary Joanie Madden on whistle and flute.
The Whistle Shop's Slow
Session - Our Slow Session meets twice a month (although it is currently on
hiatus...). It's designed mostly for new
players that may not be up to speed for a full-paced Session. Even if you don't
live close enough to join us for the Session, you'll find this page to be a good
source for learning to play (it includes some free sheetmusic, as well as
recordings of the tunes that we're working on).
tourclare.com - Great
site for planning your trip to Ireland.

recommend that you visit this site frequently if you have any interest in
Ireland and Irish culture.

easy to use sheetmusic writing program. This program will allow you to automatically print
out sheetmusic for .mid and .abc songs that you find on the Internet. It also will
transpose sheetmusic to any key with just one click (very helpful for whistle players!).
This program (in conjunction with Photo Impact) was used to write all of
the sheetmusic in our Tutorial.

very exciting project by SETI (the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence). Hundreds of
thousands of people like you and me are using their PC's in this search for life on other
planets. You download a block of radio telescope information from Seti's site, then your
computer processes it whenever your screensaver comes on. When this block of information
has been processed, you send it back to SETI and get a new block to process. You might be
the one that finds ET! You can download the "Screensaver" program at http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu.
