Liam O'Flynn Interview

Don’t know if this is old hat or not, but a nice interview at NPR:

One of Davy Spillane too:

"Davy spoke with Fiona in Dublin in 1991. "

“Liam spoke with Fiona in Glasgow in 1999.”


Old, you say?

“Being a piper is much more than playing tunes”

– Liam O’Flynn
From an interview with Celtic Cafe, April 2000


:slight_smile:

Well said!

New for me, brianc! But, 'sppose you’re right, it is old. Oh, well!

Don’t fret it too much, Liam’s words are timeless for the most part, IMHO. :slight_smile:

Yes… more to it is right… endless hours must be spent talking shight on message boards on the internet… That’s the seventh year that Ennis forgot to mention :laughing:

Seven Years Listening
Seven Years Practicing
Seven Years Playing
Seven Years Typing Shight On Message Boards On The Internet
Before you can call yourself a piper.

:boggle:

PD.

No sweat - I agree with Joseph re: the timelessness of O’Flynn’s statements.

Patrick: The 7 years of “internet shight” (shite?) should be placed before the 7 years listening, IMO.

what happened to “Seven years waiting for your pipe set?”

It’s the Seltic spelling :smiley:

PD.

Of course! The way they spell it in Boston!

nyuk nyuk nyuk

:slight_smile:

:laughing: Pretty funny ‘shight’…though I am not certain I could take 7 years of it. :wink:
