060: Craig Weir of Gleadhraich

Craig Weir's wild roller coaster of a piping career took off when he was young and shows no signs of slowing down.

057: The Ballad of Tony’s Bagpipe Bard

My good buddy and frequent guest, Swan, surprised me with wings and a request for a story we've chatted about often before: though it be poorly prepared & presented, may you nonetheless enjoy the Ballad of Tony's Bagpipe Bard!
