Ok, this is off topic, but I wanted to announce it here first.
For those of you who don’t know, I am expecting a future musician, due December 15th! (I don’t know if I’ll start him on the pipes, maybe one piper in the family is enough). I think he likes the pipes, though, cause he started squirming around last night when I was playing Garret Barry’s.
I think it’s safe to say that I’ve known you longer than anyone else here. I don’t actually remember when we met, but it’s got to be close to 20 years ago, 'cause you were just a kid then yourself. And to think you’ll soon be a parent! Cool.
You’ll be a lovely family, I’m sure. I’m very happy for you.
Never mind the regs, she’s got to stretch to tune the base drone. Or maybe John does that for the time being. I’m sure Gaby would let you use the Fromont F practice set that Brian has.
Always played music when my wife was pregnant. Maybe that’s why the kids turned out as reasonable human beings.
Congrats- should have gotten my other email as well
Cool, another member for the pregnant pipers club!!
Seriously, it can be done (gets a bit uncomfortable though). There is an old Northumbrian Pipers trick that sometimes works - Putting the belt of the bellows over your left shoulder instead of around your waist, and yes, I’ve tried it!
