I’ve just heard that Bill Reeder -a frequent contributor to this forum- has passed away.
I didn’t know Bill well: we only had some chats at tionóil over the years and a few tunes. But by all accounts, a real gentleman...and gentleman piper.

Bill Reeder, RIP

- Tell us something.: I am interested in the uilleann pipes and their typical -and broader- use. I have been composing and arranging for the instrument lately. I enjoy unusual harmonic combinations on the pipes. I use the pipes to play music of other cultures.

I met him on a few occasions. A gentleman in every sense, and a passionate piper. God rest him.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps. - Location: Lefse country

Sad news, and my sympathies go out to his loved ones. Rest in peace, Bill.
