New Year's Resolution for 2006

I originally started this blog in February 2005 so that I could post useful musical information and track my progress as I learn to play the tin whistle with some degree of competence. What with learning the mandolin, playing about with various recording and post-production hardware and software and spending inordinate amounts of time doing my day-job, this has clearly fallen by the wayside.
So: 2006! I resolve to learn a new tune on my whistle every 2 weeks, write up some notes and the notation for it and post here. If I get some other stuff sorted I'll even start posting recordings.
Tomorrow I shall post my first tune, "Shoe The Donkey" and I'll try to keep posting regularly after that.
