Notes

Ed was to a fair once in Rosslea and heard this whistler. He had a whistling range that could easily match the register of a fiddle or flute. And he had all the embellishments of a great traditional player, too. He sold fish in the market places and charmed his customers with choice tunes-many of his own making.
