I have a hell of a good time on the GHBs and once exposed to the world of Uilleann pipering, with its surliness, more reeds to scrape [pun intended] away at my sanity, I thought it would be fun to learn to play them too. I think I saw the Father D'Arcy Youtube clip (on his then new K&Q) and then...

I really don't have a chicken in this fight, but I want to comment anyway (because I am a jerk who should mind his own business). Canpiper says: I think I've posted enough for a while. I'm off for some much needed practice! I agree. That is a good plan. Also, get over yourself. The "I left the ...

Marcus, if that was a Counter-Strike reference, then you have made my day.

If it wasn't, then that works too, because I thought it was.

Not me, I prefer to fornicate with my actual genitals, and practice piping with my actual practice set.

edited to remove all references to cheese, chocolate, beef jerky, and corrugated steel, and the use of the same whilst playing the pipes.

In case you all hadn't noticed, there is a pretty kickass looking set of antique pipes on Ebay at the moment -- the current price is about $5,100.00, with a buttload of time left on the auction . . . :o http://cgi.ebay.com/Antique-Scottish-Uilleann-Pipes-Bagpipes-3-Drone-Pipe_W0QQitemZ190103354594QQ...

JES, thats an interesting nickname for your pipes . . . On another note, today is St. Urho's Day: http://sainturho.com/ Not quite as sexy as Saint Patrick, and, well, not irish (or based on reality . . . what with the Grasshoppers and Grapes and the Pitchforks), but its an interesting commentary on ...

Is it advisable to practice the pipes whilst making beef jerky?

It is copyrighted, but newspaper articles (this one on the wire as well) are in the public domain, and reprintable as long as given attribution. Sorry to be the dickhead guy with the pencil neck and the duct tape on the glasses, but I don't want folks to fall into this trap and end up getting a nas...

I got the chance to sit down and tinker around with an experienced piper (in relative terms - according to him) over this last weekend. It was invaluable. We didn't have a lesson type of thing but goddamn I learned a boatload. So, to reiterate the topic of this thread -- get thee to another piper! O...

Thanks all -- I will begin the systematic harrassment of GNIPC members.
Until the restraining order(s) takes hold . . .


Cheers!

In light of these revelations, is there anyone in Central Minnesota who teaches or could be monetarily incentivized to teach? I can cook good too. Legal advice/services is probably not on the table, but I will always negotiate. I would come down to the Cities if there are instructors down there as w...

Do you think they still have the receipt? http://cgi.ebay.com/Uilleann-Ireland-Bagpipe-in-original-box_W0QQitemZ290084848904QQihZ019QQcategoryZ16226QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Any idea who made these pipes?

I am sure there are degrees of "Clueless," just like there are degrees of "cold weather," "prosperity," "pregnancy" and rancidity. I would like to state, on the record, that I possess a very high degree of cluelessocity. I'm not proud of it, necessarily, but I...
