Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling.

From glen to glen, and down the mountain side.

the summers gone, and all the flowers are dying.
tis you, tis you must go and I must bide.

But come ye back when summers in the meadow.

or when the valleys hushed and white with snow

'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.

Hey Martlet, I play pipes (just about 3 years)...

Shepard chanter, Canmor Goretex bag, I'll have to look at the drones...

I can only play for a minute or two before the stars start to jump around in my head. Too much pressure required to play. I'll have to learn more about the reeds.

I also play bluegrass banjo, (Gibson Mastertone with Scruggs tuners) and fool around on a classical guitar.

Nice! I may pick up a new set of pipes this year. The pipes in that picture are a set of Lawrie's that have been in my family for 3 generations. My practice chanter is a Lawrie as well. Beautiful pipes, but I'm afraid I'll ruin them by dragging them around New England.

That's a Canmore bag that I have, also. Nice bag. Beats the heck out of the old leather bags.

Keep practicing. It really doesn't require that much pressure, you just have to know how to do it. If you need new reeds, get a set of E-Zee Dronz. 65 bucks and you'll never have to buy new ones again.

I think its very cool that you play pipes. Definately something that I would like to learn how to play.

I do, on the other hand, "play" that stringed thingy...

I think we have different views of parades. Guys in kilts don't do much for me (but they're a hit in the outskirts of the Quarter- Elysian Fields area) . ...
