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 had said something snarky originally, thought better of it, re read the link and am back to where I was:

Thanks for all of your kind comments on the article.

I was asked to submit some information for this article and the editor did what editors do and edited it a bit. I am very pleased with it however.

rgouette, I didn't have to travel far to take possession of my wife as she only lived three blocks away from me. Thanks for asking.

Cheers! Richard

Tommy,

No problems on being snarky. I am a bit of that myself!

You are absolutely correct though. This was a chance to get some great free advertising for my piping and I took advantage of the opportunity.

We'll see if I get any more phone calls now.

Cheers! Richard

Hey No "E",

Is it because you can't pronounce b____n or that you can't play one? Just curious :)

Say hi to all in LaLaLand for me!

Brazenkaine.... I am in all the pics. I'm the good looking one!

Obviously, I can't spell it :lol: I'll just say that I can't make music on one and leave it at that. The LaLaLanders send their regards.
