Dave Page was a major influence on the traditional Irish scene here in San Diego.

The players I learned from the in the late 1990s and early 2000s all had learned from Dave.

In coordination with Michael Long, tonight I released many exciting new versions of "The King Street Sessions Tunebook"! For those who read standard notation, there is now available both an interactive version of the tunebook with full notation for all the tunes as well as a version with j...

I currently play a 3/4 Kirk Lynch set with a Benedict Koehler chanter. The drones and regs just work and don't require a lot of fussing. As Kirk is no longer making pipes and even when he was, from what I've been told, didn't make many bass regulators, I've thought about commissioning another builde...

Paul Rosen issued an abcjs fix for Firefox 112, and I’ve updated my tools with his code and a few additional bug fixes and visual improvements.

Looks like Firefox pushed out a version 112 update that completely messes up the output of abcjs, cutting off staff lines and note stems.
