Where’s that goldurn like button?

Brilliant stuff!

hahaha!

Can I use my VISA?

Ho ho - best thing I’ve seen on the web for at least 10 minutes!
This might give jeremy -- and Will Harmon -- some new ideas

Fantastic stuff. I’ll have 10 of everything. What happened to FAQs? Or is that question too frequently asked?

Not much variety. I wanted some Hair Hat Araldite for uncle Bob, but they’ve only got SyrupStik. Looks like I’ll have to brave the crowds at Marks and Sparks again……

Fidkid, you must have more surprises for sale this Christmas…or are you keeping those for other notable dates, such as St Patrick’s Day, April 1st, etc?

The Reverend DOES, of course, have genuine, but often still funny, items for sale.
You’ll have to go elsewhere for the “Paddle faster, I hear banjos” t-shirt.

Love it!

well done

Thanks fidkid! That is so funny! The accessories are very clever, but I do like llig’s tunebook.

All the best

More books please! How about Can I Take My Didgeridoo To A Session? Philosophical questions and enlightened answers.

It is exactly this sort of thing that makes it worthwhile visiting this site.

Do you also sell fully chromatic fingers to go with the whistle?

Ormepipes, I’m just relieved that I describe chromaticism in the caption accurately (or vaguely) enough that no one’s called me out on it.

I attempted to get the Hair Hat Araldite in stock but that is professional grade, and one needs a specific permit to carry it.

Would there be a possibility of some green dye for the St. Patty’s Day Guiness?

That’s a great idea, john. I’m on it.

The color coded eggs are extra helpful for those
unsure what the letters mean. Nice effort!

Congratulations sir, you have won the internet.

Very excited for Llig’s Mammoth Melodies

The Llig’s Mammoth Melodies cover is very well-devised. The Thomas Bewick-style illustration expresses the pawky might of Edinburgh’s old-world environs and characters. Ideally, it should have shown the book on a table held open for the fiddler’s use by the statue of Greyfriars Bobby placed on it as a paperweight, and Burke and Hare robbing a nearby grave - just possibly ceasing their activities for a moment to admire the music. Or scarpering on hearing the fiddler play a bum note, this having been pre-arranged to be a warning signal.

Comma intended after “table”, of course…

Do you sell any of these for tuning and repairing uilleann pipe reeds?

http://jeffpeachey.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/bodlien-hammer1.jpg

That will be an excellent addition to the inventory, Emily.

i can think of many other uses for the pipe reed pounder, so please send me one of everything, except two each of the llig and harmon tune books. the check is in the mail.

The pipe reed pounder is a dual-purpose tool. Good for anger management as well.

Brilliant stuff.
I’ve ordered my megataur.
Can anyone tell me what strings are the best ones for it?

Lots of g-strings, of course!

Hey Will, why didn’t we get a chance at the first ‘signed’ editions at the session??? 🙁

Hehehehehe……… (does that make me sound like a teenager? Nearly made me laugh out loud!

It’s a lovely riot.

someone has a little too much time on their hands 😉

Imagine if I’d used the time to actually practise fiddle!

As we say in New England, that was wicked funny.
Or, as my granddaughter would say: “Best. Joke. Ever!”
😉

Excellent, just what I was looking for… might I suggest you add a selection of penknives to your stock?

Simon Bradley Trio could use a kid like you fid.

Can I use your visa Ann?

Great idea, the wounded hussar: Laguiole™ tippers. Imported.

Nicely done fidkid… 😀

As to TWH’s suggestion, remember “Oklahoma”, the musical? It could be a trick tipper, where in use a blade pops out…

~ or a bodhran mute…

Fidkid, you have obvious talent.
If you could only apply it to something.
😏

Tee hee.

Well done! You may want to add a song or two though, how about this:http://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtdVPE.asp?ppn=MN0082340

Wait …
That expressionless, monotone diatribe was about a song written by Shel Silverstein?
Oh
My
God
!
That is irony.

What about instrument specific condoms?

Safe sax?

At the rate they’re multiplying you might want get those prophylatics sooner rather than later;

< prophylactics >

Be honest now. If fidkid is able to produce a webpage, in his spare time, which receives such rave reviews don’t you think a cutting edge web wizard might take this site & really shake things up?
It’s been a decade & the reruns keep coming. . . & coming . . .
Our humble respect most Grand HTML Wizard.

;)

Duck & Cover!

Brilliant!

I see you’ve already sold out of those shakey egg amps that recently hit the market.

“If fidkid is able to produce a webpage, in his spare time, which receives such rave reviews don’t you think a cutting edge web wizard might take this site & really shake things up?”
Fair play Babs, fidkid already had a lot of the style worked out for him. 😉

Brilliant.

My vote for posting of the week.
Thank you, fidkid!

Fidkid, you are a genius!

Wow. Thanks Jeremy. And all. It’s my tribute to this site, and those who make it so special. Truest best wishes for the season!

Aha! So that’s where Tanya has been all of these years…

And I assume that this is only Vol. 1 of “The P Word”?

It’s overpriced. You should pay us.

Maybe it’s Llig’s Mammoth Mammaries.

But you’d have to buy the book to find out.

And you’d be too ashamed to take it back. Even if you did, you’d find that the nice mild-mannered bookseller had gone out and left the shop in the care of his ancient granny who would turn on you an eye like an angry gleed, perusing every grimy cranny of your horrible sinful soul. Attacked by a Hand of Glory, you would tumble over and crack your skull on the stark stone flagging. You would come to eventually in the gutter outside, your head having just been licked bald by a herd of cattle.

I hate when that happens.

fidkid, I’m on the floor laughing. (too old for LOL) Outstanding…well done.

Trust Joe! Tee hee hee!

Not encouraging anything, mind you -
I am just sayin’…

This is fab stuff!

He’s added more. Keep ’em coming Joe. They’re great.

Thanks fidkid, this really made me laugh.

Brilliant!

What about some nice hand knitted spoon cosies? (Preferably in thick sound absorbing Aran wool). I find they sound so much better with those 🙂

Best laugh I’ve had in weeks. Great job Fidkid!

I’m looking forward to the Crossposts at Easter.

Excellent!

Well done! Thanks for this, fidkid. Pure genius here.

I’ve NO idea how I missed this 1st time round - just stumbled on it now - BRILLIANT!

The Session Shoppe has been updated to match current brand standards.

Dear Santa…

I hope you all read the FAQs at the Session Shoppe. The second to last one is what I’ve been searching for on website FAQs for years.
