Bagpipes after hours - "Drunken Landlady"

Anyhoo, Ian Werner throws down an acoustically pleasing recording of the auld hornpipe "The Drunken Landlady"

Turlock Junior High School is the setting once again. The weather this evening was superbly mild and pleasant, hence the absence of a tomato red sweaty face and parched hair. ;0)

it may be the angle of the camera but it looks like you are about to fall over...not criticizing your playing take me on that

[SvenskPiper]

i see what you mean.hmmm, I think it may be attributed to the angle of the camera as the camera is tediously placed on top of a thick hardcover book which is in turn placed on top of my, of all things, pipe case. I don't use my tripod b/c it's one of those old, clunky ones with legs that screw in+out from each other, & it's a burdensome thing to have to lug w/ me... embarrasing to set up actually.

[SvenskPiper]

or the intense heat of the day could be the reason for me looking like i'm about to fall over. plus i don't like the way my bag was cut or how the drones feel on my shoulder+chanter placement... but after one spends $350+ on a new sheepskin bag and the holes are cut, if one doesn't like it, what is one to do? put up with it I guess, which is what i have been doing for 2 years this coming Pleasanton. I see a new sheepskin bag in my future - perhaps for Christmas?

Good sound and tone...just practice in front of a mirror so you can see your appearance. You really don't look comfortable.

[SvenskPiper]

how so?

[mf6543]

if you play bit slow it be nice tune, but 100%

[SvenskPiper]

huh?  you don't make any sense

[needygreenjeans]

I love all your videos and you are a wonderful piper. But i can not stand the way you strike in your drones!

[warrior2525]

dude, screw the guys who dislike this, you have great technique and you are very consistent. ive been playin for 5 years and i hope i can play that fast one day...Slainte'

[linerider48]

Well done!

[rpdurando]

Play slower? I thought you took it at a nice tempo, I guess that guy isn't familiar with Cape Breton scottish music (that's the version played here) Great!!!

[apolloboytroy]

I'd suck his junk!! :)

[rugbybear10]

DUDE! talk about acoustics!!!! what a great place for playing the pipes!!! sounds great, your whole set rocks, drones sound great and the chanter resonates perfectly!

[themidnightpiper]

Great job man. Any way you could send me the sheet music for this? Would really appreciate it.

[cbeigl93]

wow i wish i could play like that^^

[pilot2309]

Once again another entertaining performance great tone from the drones and nice chanter sound, your little camera seems to have pretty good sound pick ups. Personal I like the acoustics under there also.

Once again I feel entertained Thanks

sounds GREAT! The brick/cement surroundings the sound is bouncing off of give a completely eerie echo to it all. You should try a video in a parking garage, I'll bet it will sound incredible!
