068: Band Master F. U. Joe Brady

The Chanter Rant guys have done a lot of terrible things, and a lot of awesome things. Among the latter is helping this man's philosophy, work ethic, strategizing, and handsome face come more fully into the awareness of the international competitive pipe band community. Tune into this episode to hear Joe promise, on record, to never play Cajun Grace again... Here's a link to Wake & District's website: https://www.raleighpipeband.com/ And, because it came up so often in the show, also MacLellan Bagpipes: https://www.raleighpipeband.com/ *Allow me to suggest following both on Instagram.

067: 3D Printed Bagpipes with David Stanley

Given his background in aviation one might assume that Dave's, "drone work," has to do with the kind that fly around in the sky - but no, Dave's been hard at work perfecting both design and production methodology to bring solid, reliable, good-sounding 3D printed GHB drones to the masses! Dave was recently featured in Big Rab's episode #299, (also, congrats to Rab on 300 - holy moly!) There's a link over to Rab's show down below.

066: Tam O’Shanter (Halloween Special)

Tam O'Shanter is a popular poem, maybe especially around this time of year. I convinced my own padre to do a reading for the episode in English, and then got permission from Scots Hoose to use a really excellent pro-recording they had of Hamish MacDonald reading the poem in Scots. Not to mention: amazing musical score provided by Jeremy of the Wetootwaag Bagpipes & History Podcast. Check out the links below, and Happy Halloween!

Tune into this episode to hear James interrupt Laura over and over and over again because he's inexplicably giddy about two people from the same small town knowing a bunch of the same people and places...

064: Pipe Sergeant -ing with Marc

Marc's back! No marriage proposal this time, but plenty of great insight, stories, and ideas about how to be a good Pipe Sergeant!

063: The JD Episode

If you haven't heard of JD, you've probably at least heard JD (he's the new voice of the Weekly Drone on The Big Rab Show) - and if you haven't heard JD there's at least a chance you've been in a plane that he touched at some point during production... Tune into this episode to hear about the time JD played pipes for a porn star... and the time he played at a (I'm guessing) illegal cage fight... and much, much more... This episode opens with a bit of a tune JD wrote, "Mrs Maria Ingraham," and it closes with another JD original, "A Georgia Peach and a Texas Rose".

062: The Penny Whistle & You with Sean Cunningham

If you've ever been impressed by production quality in a penny whistle tutorial on YouTube, you were probably watching Sean. A self-proclaimed, "recovering highland bagpiper," Sean joins me to talk about whistles & why, (I'm sure,) all pipers and drummers should pick up a whistle. Tune into this episode to hear Sean extol that ever-popular musical genre: Elf Metal. If you're looking to get a lovely whistle, here's the discount code for whistles from the good people over at LÍR : HERITAGEBAGPIPES Here are links to Sean's work & other things that came up during the interview: Sean's YouTube chanel: https://www.youtube.com/c/whistletutor Sean's website: https://whistletutor.com/ Sean's band: https://thesternwheelers.com/ The live session album Sean mentioned: https://patrickourceau.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-monas - We're on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DroningOnPodcast And Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/droning.on.podcast/ - You can write-in to the show with comments, ideas, requests, etc. at TheDroningOnPodcast@gmail.com - Support the show via Patreon (patreon.com/DroningOnPodcast), or by buying cool stuff at BagpipeSWAG.com - - - And now, some keywords: Bagpipes, bagpipe, bag, pipe, pipes, pipe, band, pipeband, Scottish, small, drone, droning, chanter, highland, lowland, uilleann, smallpipes, trad music, whistle, flute, pennywhistle, tinwhistle, irish, irishwhistle

061: Ross Ainslie - LAS (new album)

Ross needs no introduction, I’m sure. He’s an amazing piper, whistler, tunesmith, and I hear he’s a decent baker as well! Along with the totally-talented Brìghde Chaimbeul and the superbly-skilled Steven Byrnes, Ross has gifted us with another unique collection of music in the new album, “LAS”. For C-Smallpipe enthusiasts everywhere, this has been much-anticipated, as Brìghde and Ross did the whole thing on C-smallpipes. And whether you care a lot about the key of the pipes or it makes no difference to you at all: this album is a horizon-broadening, joy-bringing, excitement-inducing musical trip and I could not recommend it enough. In the last 48hrs I think I’ve listened it through some 9 times, and some of the tracks, (especially The Badger & The Weasel,) many more times than that, and it’s not getting old in any way. Stream it, buy it, share it with friends - get copies to hand out for the Holidays, this is good music. Tune into this episode to hear Ross totally shut-down my suggestion that World’s ought to include a Grade 1 Cabaret Competition… Here are the links! As of today, there’s a single track of the album available, but the whole album will drop on September 2nd. Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/1F6NvB43HUErNBJMGzBS5j?si=TwydsrbuQQOMOa8NusSj2A As of posting the episode, I don’t have a BandCamp link yet, but for sure consider purchasing a copy to support these amazing artists.
