Really. No, he’s not selling his personality or rare Belgian beer bottles. Song of the Piper 3 CD thing. Pretty much what you’d expect in the tracks: Rambling Pitchfork, Farewell To Ireland, Toss The Feathers, Kid On The Mountain, Let All Mortal Flesh Kneel Down, All Hail The Power Of Jesus’ Name. You know, that kind of thing.
Never heard about this, didn’t find it in the archives. I assume it’s available in other places but noticed it in the Celtic CD box sets on Ebay.
Big Head Monster Todd Denman also was on a CD called Celtic Hymns. This some kind of Cali thing?
Skip and I are in eternal digital wedlock on this CD!
This was recorded in Nashville a good few years ago. Just into the studio “this is what we want” and out again in less than a day… everything is one take!! Considering that and the gigantically low budget the thing isn’t too terrible… if I do say so myself
I got to play with a lovely fiddler on this from Nashville named Bill Verdier. That was a real pleasure.
Since Pat and I did that cd about 3 years ago, I was wondering if you know what “material” gifts for the third anniversary should be made of… I know the 25th anniversary will be silver (if Pat and I make it that long). Isn’t this the year of paper? Or is it cane?
I’m stumped and I just want to get the guy something special!
Here is a quick anniversaries-reference for piping couples:
Year 1. Pipering recording
Year 2. Hemp thread
Year 3. Humidification (for piping couples experiencing dry conditions)
Year 4. Cane
Year 5. Trip (for one) to a distant tionol
It pretty much ends there. I can’t recall if I’ve ever heard of a two-uilleann piper household.
