Other nice stuff too, including Gerdy Commane R.I.P.

Tell us something.: I am a walrus, I am a tea pot. John Lennon said that but people see him as a guru. Well,tell,you what he also almost became a piper asking Paddy Keenan to teach him. (bleep) got bored & went on the sitar and the rest is history.

That lad is incredible. I heard him play in Ennis 2 years ago, and he blew the place away. His regulator playing on a slow air he was doing was out of this world.

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.

Yeah, it's hard to tell in the video but the bass drone puck looks like a Williams metal job. The regs certainly seem to be in good working order!
