I believe that the "old timer" she is referring to must have been racing towards the last stages of of an alzheimer's type dementia when he imparted his wisdom on the Uilleann pipes. ... or maybe he was simply legally blind. It strikes me that this acution should be the punch line to a &qu...

Ausdag, It sounds like to me that your cd burning software is trying to burn at a higher speed than your cd writer is capable of. I.e. your software is trying to burn at 4x and your cd writer is only buring at 1x (which explains why the burnt cd is playing back so fast). Check your burning software ...

Definitely interested in bidding. I have contacted the seller thru eBay, but have had no reply, so I turned to the pipeheads here. Pipeheads, the piping equivalent of a gearhead... it is NOT a reference to an individual who has been known to consume cannabinoids. Reepicheep PS - I did do a search of...

You should check out Mr. Scott's other posts, they are of equal quality.

I had to stop myself short from sending him an email on some of my own parenting nightmares.

BTW, I thought that Quinn's "Piper's Despair" was a guide to the first years of marriage... guess I was wrong.

Is it just me (a relatively newbie piper), or does that bag look a bit dodgy? Anyone have any experience with Hillman's pipes?

Peace!

Antaine,
Is that your "Brittonized" set from Pakistan? Your engraving is beautiful! I am especially fond of what you did with the regulator keys. Incredible work!
Peace!

Room for a Lawyer Joke?

I don't have any witty musical jokes, but I'd like to share my favorite lawyer joke...

What do a sperm cell and an attorney have in common?

Only one in 3 Million has a chance of becoming a human being.


Thanks for letting me go a wee bit off topic...
Peace!
