    105: The Highalnd Bagpipe, by W.L. Manson, Chapter 1

    So sorry for the late upload, friends. And I'm afraid even for all that, it's not a, "typical," episode, either. I have several great interviews with very cool guests all in the edit-phase and didn't manage to get one ready for this weekend, so instead I'm pulling out the first chapter of an audiobook production I've been putting together of this 123-year-old book about bagpipes you may've heard about - I hope it's reasonably enjoyable! Thanks again for tuning in, and have a lovely week! Tune into this episode to hear Jim mispronounce so, so many names...

    101: "Pipes for Peace" Album

    Hello my good friends - I hope you'll forgive me, between being sick and getting the celebratory, "Pipes for Peace," album out into the world I have not had time to craft a, "real," episode for this week. What you'll find here, instead, is the album promo I recorded for Big Rab this morning - and that's just all my voice could do. I'm afraid it's really taking a long time to get back to 100% healthy. That's been stitched-together with the episode 82 interview with Liz, the founder of Peace Through Music International. If you have the time and inclination, please do check out the album. It has a lot of great music on it, the money goes to support a great cause, and the prizes we have for the St. Patrick's Day drawing are truly great as well. Here's the album: https://droningon.bandcamp.com/album/pipes-for-peace Here's info about Peace Through Music International: https://www.peacethroughmusicinternational.org/ And here's a list of the prizes on-offer: -Guitar accessory pack from D'Addarrio -Kelpie Whistle from MK Whistles -MK Stealth II practice chanter (in Torpedo Case) from Maverick -Lots of different whistles (including GHB-fingering whistles) from Generation -Online bodhran course from Blayne Chastain -A tune workshop from Get Bagpipe Ready -Giftcards for BagpipeSwag.com And... I think that's it... I need a nap...
