Progress report? :pith:

I've got to join in. I too have a set of Kitchen pipes, which after years of hard use were getting a little "worn". I sent them back in to Scotts Highland where they were completely reconditioned,...

Just talked with both my sons. They are planning as going as part of Clan Amuck (a truly fine band of mercenaries). They speak very highly of the event, but I don't think my schedule will allow...

You're quite right. Off of Litchfield road and Indian School Rd. Not far at all. Whoops! I didn't realise it was no longer at Estrella mountain park! I'm afraid if you had problems in the...

Good lord! I haven't heard of Falstaff since high school (some 4 and 1/2 decades ago)! Where are you and where do you get it? :shock:

Should you find yourself in Salt Lake City, Utah, be sure to drop in at Piper Down.

David is absolutely right. Nothing can ruin a batch quicker than poor sanitation. I boil everything that can be boiled, utensils etc. before starting and I use an iodine rinse while using the...

Thank you very much! The road does go ever on. :)

Very good indeed!

Thank you,

Shoe box? Grand idea! Actually though, I had the bodhran, I just couldn't take it into hospital where I was consulting at the time. Got to go see if the wife has a shoe box...... :D

Some years ago I purchased "Absolute Beginner's Bodhran Tutor" by Conor Long. It is part of the Mel Bay catalog and consisted of 30 some pages of instruction, some tunes, and a CD. Perhaps I simply...

Well gents, It's been about a month. How is it progressing with the lessons?

Congrats KFP!

You're a tribute to the profession.

Yes, Well how did it go? A curious rabble (or should that be a curious curious rabble) wants to know! Weather here in Phoenix precluded a last minute road trip.

A more thoroughly dangerous rabble I have never seen! Having that much fun in public is illegal in 32 of the lower 48 states!

Also for church services the "Doxology", "Holy Holy Holy", and "Nearer My god to Thee" seem to work well and are well received. And while we're talking about "money makers" lets not forget the...

A Jameison. Neat if you please.

In my mind's eye I am a piper, though the mob with pitch forks and torches pursuing me would strongly dispute that! As a hobby I am a certified public accountant and currently contracted as the...

I'm trying my hand at posting a couple of pics here.

This was St. Patty's at the Celtic Curtain in Phoenix, Arizona.
...

Now for me that is good input, reporting after having heard it live and side by side. The quality of sound on this PC is not that impressive. I used the clanrye for a while and have used Apps ever...

Well said, Hiram.

Lest we forget.

Nice Pipes! These look remarkably similar to the set of Kitchen Pipes I purchased from Scott's Highland Supply, Ltd. several years ago. However, mine came with a Dunbar practice chanter. I bought...

Thanks George! As you can imagine the seller was a little more than vague in his description.:)

I was rummaging around on ebay and I found a "BAGPIPER Proficiency Patch Musician Badge". What does the military consider as proficient?:pith:
