From yesterday’s club meeting; Michael Eskin (L) and Pat D’Arcy (R) playing. Gabriel’s facial expression says it all. Need I say more?

talk about crossing swords!!
What was funny was when they did bottom D. Chanters would come up, and miss hitting each other in the face as an after thought.
Pat should be posting the other “normal” photos this week. I just had to post this early.
That is totally wild. I would have loved to hear how it all turned out. In my Warpipe Band, Inis Fada - we had to strong pipers do the same . I believe the tune was Mason’s Apron. That was an occation I’ll never forget.

I’d really appreciate it if you could drop the whole dope smoking discussion as I’d prefer not to have to explain it to some future employer who does a Google search on me and finds this discussion. Thanks.
Anyway, based on the success of this perverse experiment, the next stunt could be even more spectacularrrr, along the lines of:

We tried that with the band once. It really isn’t as hard as it looks, one just has to stop thinking… 
Marijuana is legal only with a doctor’s permission slip in California.
Actually, with whistles, I think the conjoint playing is rather easy - we did it in school concert and it went fine (both ways - with one hand on yours, and both hands on his). But the octopus jig seems rather difficult I guess 
May be crapload of fun to practise though
If the two of you get together soon you have got to record this stunt. It looks like it would be amazing! I’m sure everyone wants to see this.
Its definitely workable, just need to remember to work the bellows, I kept starving poor Pat of air! Next time I’ll bring my videocam.
Here’s another duo with the same stunt…crazy kids these days!
