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