My panpipe CD "I Got Your Danny Boy Right Here, Buddy" is now available from CDBaby at:

Thank you for viewing my videos and/or channel. To help out in navigating my somewhat 'prolific' collection of videos, I've created a number of playlists of my videos to help out in trying to find things (i.e., the "Ragtime" playlist contains my Ragtime videos). I try to keep them reasonably up to date, but have been neglectful lately.

Last year I took a rare opportunity to purchase a 9 foot 40 year old concert grand in very fine condition (at an amazing price - for a concert grand), and recently I finally have gotten access to some better recording equipment, so now you can finally tell that it is a concert grand. Please subscribe! I need to pay off my piano! ;)

I'm not a musician for a living, oddly enough (I like a stable income, health benefits... that boring sort of stuff ;) ), but as you might guess, I love music. I don't drive, so the panpipes give me something to do while walking from one place to the next & waiting for my bus to work. (Piano's my first instrument, but my arms were getting tired carrying it down the street.) Since getting the concert grand, in fact - and after years of neglecting the piano for the panpipes, I'm now somewhat in danger of neglecting the panpipes for the piano. I need more time!

I've given 'folk' as the style, but I'm actually a hard-core classical pianist in background; the stuff I've posted here so far is folk, ragtime, classical, old pop, new pop & a few misc. things. I may not offer perfection, but I DO offer variety. :)

For anyone interested to hear a better quality recording of me on the panpipes, there are some clips ("With a Hundred Pipers" & "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot") from my CD posted to my "MySpace" page (http://www.myspace.com/glenho ban
) , as well as now to my YouTube account.

You may also purchase a copy of the CD by sending $15.00 U.S./CDN to my PayPal account. (Overseas add an additional $4.00 for shipping.)

Lastly, for anyone viewing my Ragtime videos.... please don't bother telling me Ragtime should not be swung:I've been told at least a hundred times already (and I started, 25 years years ago, playing it without a swing), and, really..... I prefer my Ragtime with a bit of a swing or other rhythm. If you DON'T, then perhaps you should listen to someone else's Ragtime! If you want to complain anyway, just be warned that I might be a little cranky. ;) I also prefer my Ragtime a little on the slow side. I feel this allows one to get much more out of the music, or at least Scott Joplin's rags!
