Well pet, I hadn’t, but now you mention it. Tin-whistle or flute blowing, still you would think in that case people would be better at it. Given that as kids one or the other was used resulting in the tone deafening of huge numbers. There had to be some silver lining from all that hell.
Anyhoos, no, it has to do with dexterity. And true, Pianos are ideal for this. Tin-whistles are far easier for the kids to carry.

Good laughter or bad laughter, M. Waiter? The "bwa" at the start suggests Bond villain, so I'm a little nervous. MaryAnn, so true. If the Rose Of Tralee judges are indeed looking for "the truth in her eyes ever dawning", they should really stipulate that the eyes aren't masked behind lash inserts and twelve coats of mascara, non? Kevin, please show this love by opening a tab in the Oak next time you're home. Or else stop posting comments on my blog after you get back from the pub. Y'lush ya. Vince, my interest is stoked like a big blazing fire. How is a tin whistle a training instrument for life? Please don't say you meant this in a wink-wink-nudge-nudge way, regarding flute-blowing and other unsavory, non Rose-like pursuits! Manuel E, is true. Irish girls are far more English these days, while you can't out-Irish an American. The Spanish Rose is pictured above in all her hirsute glory.

Hola Sweary!

Did a foreign Rose win it again. It’s always the foreign ones who are the best at being Irish.

How was the Spanish Rose get on?

Besos

The tin-whistle is a training instrument for later life. And you are correct the lassies are less in bud and more in the rose-hips stage.

I’ve always thought it grossly unfair when beauty pageants are limited to the single ladies.

I want Bert Parks (or his successor) to pick out the most comely Mommy at the next school drop off (Mommies in pyjamas included). There’s the true test (minus the magic of cosmetics and supportive undergear…..) of dewy womanly beauty!!!!

I’ve always preferred bagpipes over the tin whistle….
