Search for “Peter Browne”.., duh! :roll: 
Don’t know if it’s the same thing but it is a lecture on the pipes.
Great link, Rick. Peter Browne is an excellent piper, as well as a very knowledgable speaker about ITM. He has a great sense of humour, and is a pleasure to talk with. I hope this won’t be just a lecture, but that he will play as well.

I was at the Washington DC Peter Browne appearance and I believe that it was billed as an illustrated lecture.
I heard that he is in Milwaukee on May 7.
