[splortz]

Kevin is a great guy. Funny, talented and rich. Well, two out of three ain't bad.

[TrueBlueEG8]

[madcelt1]

[BeautifulSoulgurl]

[BlackFolkAndPiano]

@BeautifulSoulgurl I've been playing for four monthts now, without a teacher, and I'm really having fun... you should try!

watching this confirms man is heading in the wrong direction. These days we seem to rather some computer achieve this for us or we would rather sit on xbox.. Its refreshing to still see people of this calibre.

[MorkaGraven]

@gaviao80 Right and Wrong don't exist, not until we can identify properly how knowledge is attained and how absolution is achieved. For any of this to be necessary for humanity, we'd need an objective to meet too.

We have none of these and will continue to fail to have these so long as the universe itself lacks purpose.

does the irish uillean bagpipe have the same finger holds for the notes as the highland pipes?... and do they have the same amount of notes?....OH! and can u play standing up with them?...oh and yeah 1 more... can you make it so u can blow into the bag instead?

[cornemmuse]

The fingering on the chanter is different than on the Highland pipes. There are two octaves as apoosed to one octave and one note on highland pipes. One can play standing up, but it is not usual of comfortable. Can not blow into this bagpipe - the reed wouldn't withstand the moisture.

can you detect sarcasm on the internet? :-p

[JFK76LANGER]

Irish trad with American accents. The stuff of nightmares.

[xxmyfavmusicxx]

I say Irish trad shouldn't even be in English

[cornemmuse]

how bout Galician?

[cornemmuse]

it is so much worse when I fake an accent. You play?

[JFK76LANGER]

Sure do. Have been piping for years.

Amazing how sensitive the yanks get when we accuse them of murdering our music.

[cornemmuse]

I'd love to hear you play. I'll be in Ireland beginning of October. Maybe you'll give me a lesson?

[JFK76LANGER]

sure, you got a set of working pipes?? Drop me a line closer to the time.

[AwesomeHeath]
