Sweet! I am like so totally there dude!
P-Diddley.
ME TOOOO!!!
Funny thing happened today. I put the Mikie Smyth recordings from the Dutch Uilleann pipers website onto my MP3 player, and well, one thing happened or another and now I have Mikie playing not his Wooff C# set, but a Wooff G set. I must say it sounds truly awesome. Now that would be a big bundle of sticks. 
You lucky so and sos!
Not only is Mikie an amazing piper and teacher, he is also a genuinly nice guy…funny too! Guys if you have the chance go there, if you dont have the chance lie, steal and cheat to get there !
You know LA doesn’t feel so far from Japan right now 
PD.
I think Mikie Smyth was the guy at Willie Week last year who kept making fun of me and Nicola cause we couldn’t understand his accent. 
I’d love to be there for the workshop…keep us updated.

Can’t wait, I will me there.
Hmmm…now that I saw his picture on Patrick’s site, I realize it’s an entirely different guy. So who was that piper making fun of me???
I figured it out…Mickey DUNNE.
OH! 2Ns, 1E
Sup Youghal? Don’t forget now!
Padge.
bibitty bobitty BUMP!
Howe’s 1000 Jigs and Reels has a tune called “Lurry Dunn’s Reel.” Appropriately enough, it’s in the key of…E. E major.
Larry doesn’t look at all Byzantine like his avatar, he’s kinda baby-faced. He’d look good in a pinstripe suit, holding a Tommy gun. Give us a jig, Dollface!
Kevin- do you have the dot’s for that?? We could play it for Larry
New avatar, just for you Kevin! (Lester Gillis, aka “Babyface Nelson”)
Larry
“Don’t call me Babyface!!”
I like the avatar, Larry.

Does that mean you drive around in an old '36 Chevy Master 4-door? If so, two things, I’m looking foward to getting a ride, and do I get a tommygun?
Yes, though it’s cleverly disguised as a Subaru Forester.
I can give you a lift, but a ride is out of the question. We’ll see what we can do about the tommygun.

Here’s a teaser clip from my recording of last night’s concert at Gabriel’s:
