By the way, I heard a tape of this guy...freakin' fantastic! Billy's one of those pipers who has been playing forever-all on the quiet like-never needed to or wanted to "Hit it big". Just really mastering the craft for the craft's sake. Nice, crisp in parts, flowing in others, endless variations ...

- 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.

Elbogo...if you come to the Tionol in St. Paul...we'll actually GIVE you a CD of him. Tommy, I just copied those tapes to CD and we now have 18 track of Billy's playing available (with his permission) to club members and those attending the tionol this march! 2 or 3 of those tracks are terrible quality, as they were origianally recorded with a good ol' fashioned tape recorder...but many are actually quite good.

OK some replies now. Re: Photoshop lasso tool. Yes I'd be lost without it. I wish I had also used that "pure drop" filter to give my pasty old head that vintage piper look. Re: The Coyne set. Iksnay-on-the-Oyn-cay!
Re: those fingers. Funny, when you see your big 'ol jug on someone else's body, you really see how your own features relate to the rest o' ye. God I wish I had such beautiful-long-slender didgets! Re: the sideburns. What, has my wife been talking to you?Re: visual comparisons ala Davey: One first-class braining from an irate Luxemburger coming right up! Re: Those regs (remember that topic?). Anyone have a pre-1999 Rogge set that has the shorter mainstock? Can you easily get at your regs?
