The date’s been settled. We’ll be having a piper’s gathering at my house in Roswell, GA (near Atlanta) on May 7th.
Start time will be 12:30pm, play some tunes, and work on reeds as necessary. Around 5ish, we’ll throw some burgers and dogs on the grill, then go back to it until everyone decides to go home.
I’ll invite some other musicians over for an after dinner session.
Just like last time, I’ll supply the food and soft drinks. Bring any adult beverages you’d enjoy…I’ll also have some Guinness and a bit o’ Jameson on hand.
It was nice to meet new people and listen to their piping… in addition to seeing some excellent examples of pipe making! Big Thanks to Gary (snoogie) and Trish White for hosting this event. I am really looking forward to the next gathering.
Once I get permission from the pipers, I’ll post some photos.
Hey all,
Glad it went well. Sorry I couldn’t be there, but I could feel the warm wishes and could hear the clink of glass raised for me in my abscence.
As for my part, there are some hundred families who are a little safer from the threat of rabies now.
Next gathering…

A very nice fella, Ed Harrison and his fine C# Rogge full set. Great tone off of it!
Pelham and Lewis playing the K&Q Beehive set with a K&Q D chanter… great set! Too bad the humidity dropped and threw things out of whack. We sat outside and it seemed to help, but not an awful lot. Still, a great time and great tuneage was had.
