Girardin Family Whistle Project

The Girardin family is adding music to their clog dancing routine that they present for family functions, church events and elderly entertainments. When I went searching for a flute player for the pictures of the Mystic Auto Fife, I got immeditate response from Leah Girardin. She and her two daughters Darryl Ann and Kayla were already doing clogging and they all agreed that learning the whistle might fit in just right with their routines and add another element to the entertainment. They do a great deal together as a family for the community and I am proud to have them adding their own music to this project. Whe have started out with D & C whistles and will be going on to Low whistles as the girls develop their skills. Thursday nights will be Whistle Night at the Acoustically Perfect Barn outback. The two thousand square foot building is being cleared and cleaned to provide the local musicians in the area a place to try out different Keys and Kinds of whistles and to give instructional help to beginners and those that want to improve their whistling skills. I am sure that with the Girl Scouts, Girardin Family and all those testers who have had a part in getting things going that it will be a fun time. Dates and times will be posted in the end of April when it warms up around here enough to get outside and really enjoy it. Posted by The WhistleSmith at March 28, 2005 12:08 PM | TrackBack
