GNIPC Tionól May 19-20th 2007

It was a brilliant party, to say the least!

The piping duet by Michael and Paddy was, without exageration, pure heaven… with a little pain on behalf of their elbows I suspect. It culminated in a 20 minute reel fest that finshed off with a resounding duel of Colonel Fraser’s. It was only by sheer luck that these two pipers did not strip their elbow gears! :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

MAGIC!!!

Indeed. I noticed wisps of smoke rising off the two of them at that point. This even after having been issued official GNIPC asbestos clothing…formulated in our labs for just such an occasion.
:wink:

Lady guitar”??? :really:

Dude. I trust you are making a Scottish musical history reference, there, buddy boy. :smiling_imp:

Man I wish I coulda seen that! Anyone record it? Larry, where’s your report?!?

I can neither confirm nor deny that recordings were made.

As far as my report, you’ll have to wait for the summer issue of “The Pipers Review.” I can say that the review will generally be favorable :smiley:

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Thanks Patrick, I was going to say it first but now I don’t have to. Love ya Jason, really. Not in a gay way, more like a prison way buddy! :laughing:

Y’all should’ve seen our Nano busking in the streets of downtown St. Paul… it was… well… moving, to say the least. :stuck_out_tongue:

All jokes aside, very nice piping Nanodood. :thumbsup: :slight_smile:

And people tell me I’m “paranoid”. HA. This proves I’m very, very perceptive. :smiling_imp:

Yeah, and I appreciated all the dosh. Lemmesee…you guys gave me a penny, a nickle, a bottle cap, and two expired concert tickets. I can’t laugh and pipe too well at the same time. :laughing:

Here’s a pic of my Concert to the Ghosts:

Early Sunday afternoon in beautiful downtown Saint Paul, Minnesota. Just passing the time. Of course I wouldn’t have done if there were scads of people around.

If you look very closely, you can almost see the cigarette butt on his pipe case that I left for a tip. I was, needless to say, deeply moved. :smiley:

apparently so were all the restaurants patrons…

Nyuk.

…sorry dude, I am a wise @zz by nature…

Misterpatrick, do you have a rough estimate when the concert video footage will be up and running? How about some more of them pics? :smiley:

The audio on the video got blown out somehow so I am set to receive a CD copy from the audio guys. I have to resync the audio. I’m hoping by the end of the week. I’ll also get some more photos up etc.

Lady Guitar…hmmm, Misterpat was that a reference to the cittern a.k.a the so called " English Guitar" ( despite it being used all over Europe back in the day…) being an acceptable instrument for women, or at least upper class women to play. ( Fiddle, trumpet, lute, pipes, flute and cello were considered too masculine for most women to play at least in “polite” public, for a host of reasons.)

I thought my references were a bit obscure…

Maybe it is really Laddie guitar :wink:

Look. It’s a feckin’ GIZMO. All right???

GIZMO: acronym for Generally Indicates Zero Machismo :slight_smile:

Dude. You…you…you’re the one who plays “I Won’t Be A Nun”. :wink:

Of course, indeed then you won’t. :wink:

Oh, well. So much for rebuttals.

Tom, I fully support your decision not to become a nun.
:smiley:

Nano, don’t feel too badly over all this prattle. Remember, I play… harp…with my fingernails…and I’ve heard them all. Then again I’m the type who brings a low whistle to a knife fight… :wink:
