Hello Ryan,

Thank you so much for these lessons - I am enjoying them very much and learning a lot!

The music notation that you have posted for Star of County Down is not what you play in this video. (It looks like an inside out version!) Is the whistle music typically different for this song (or others) than what might be found on thesession.org simply because we're playing a D whistle and need to be in a different key?

(PS – sorry for the delete above – decided to redo the post – need spell check!!!)

Ryan - Great videos. At 59 I am making one more attempt at learning a musical instrument in this life and your videos are a huge help!

BTW - Music for Star of the County Down that is a close match to the video version is available at Brother Steve's:

Hey Fr. Ryan (When are you ordained anyways?) I was wondering if you plan to make a supplemental video. I've watched others play these song but you make your videos with the purposes of us getting to see your fingers moving and it helps a lot. Thanks and God bless.
