It’s that time of year again…I’m getting pinged on what I might want from co-workers, cousins, in-laws, etc…and of course I have nary a clue.
Help me with ideas for about $25. I already have:
Mikie Smyth’s CD
Brian McNamara - Fort of the Jewels
Steve Harris Bagpipe Tool (two?, one for GHB and one UP)
The Wynd You Know… Ronan Browne
A Piper’s Dream… Brian MacNamara

Hmm NPU DVD?
Wynd you Know is gorgeous, solo, but concert pitch. If you might be flat-inclined, check out “Touch My If You Dare” (Claddagh Records).
Actually you could pretty much pick anything from the Claddagh catalog and be happy

Concert pitched? It’s been a while since I listened to it, but I recall it being a B set. Gotta listen to it again I suppose.
Just checked, sounds Bb to me.
Right you are. I must be getting tone deaf in my old age.
maw:
A new reed
… that’s gotta be it.

a pakistani low whistle.
You, sir, are out of line!!! No dancing women for you!!!
i’m trying to hint at an F and a G low whistle and a few CDs for Christmas. probably mikie’s and mick o brien and kevin o reilly’s CD. mmm
… all I want for Christmas, is to be playing a full set of Greenwood cocobolo and brass and boxwood pipes… really, it is all I want… maybe, maybe a flat set, or perhaps just a flat chanter, a Checker Marathon, a really cool motor bike (Harley preferred, Indian will do), and a bottle of booze… this one’s about dry… hic …

here’s something that might improve your piping…
a metronom.
I swear by them now (and swear at them, too)!
