Really? I can think of one example - each - of GH pipers playing non-bagpipe repertoire; these areCHasR wrote:hmmmmmm....I really do quite disagree with much of this, but to elucidate would simply not be in keeping with the tenor of the thread, (or the UP forum for that matter)..wish this had been posted elsewhere. :(s1m0n wrote:The GHBs do only one thing well, albeit that superbly.

1. breton Bagad pipe-bands;
2. a wild field-recording from the seventies in which a rite being conducted at hindu temple in India are accompanied by a piper playing the relevent music on a set of highland pipes, and
3. the black american jazz musician who bills himself as the world's only jazz piper but whose name I'm drawing a blank on.
I know there are a few post-colonial nations* in which military pipe bands still exist as a legacy of what were once british colonial regiments, but I think most or all of these went on playing the same military pipeband music they were before.
*India, Pakistan, several arab nations and Idi Amin's Uganda, for example.
And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

Go and play a tune or something and see this fer whit it is...light hearted banter.
Now then, back to the topic...does it matter which country a goat comes frae to make a Bodhrán ? or does it only matter to the goat?

I'm Irish on both sides, Cavanaugh/Hunt and Kelleher/McNamara. I'm also German-Goetschel (from Bonn) and Scottish-Gordon.
For some reason people seem to think Sean James Cavanaugh is Russian though. But right now I live in Milwaukee, and they try to twist everything into German or Polish descent.
Seriously? Cavanaugh ---> Cavanof? Cavanov? Who knows...

Re: Pipers Ethnicity
That is funny and interesting. Kavanov(á) is a legitimate Slavic name and is found in Czech Republic and Slovakia in fairly wide distribution. I believe it could also be found in other Slavic lands.sjcavy wrote:I'm Irish on both sides, Cavanaugh/Hunt and Kelleher/McNamara. I'm also German-Goetschel (from Bonn) and Scottish-Gordon.

That's cool to know. Wonder if it went to Ireland sometime and transferred.

Re: Pipers Ethnicity
The analogy was serious...If an American Goat was used to make a Bodhrán I am sure it would sound the same as an Irish Goat.The only thing being the Irish Goat would probably be quite pleased.The same with the Irish Pipes.They would sound the same if it was an American playing or an Irish player.However which player would be more pleased?
