@piobairesicago , hey man, take it easy. I was only making a joke. I am well aware of the differences between different kinds of pipes. I was not trying to make highland pipe references, only pointing out what I found humorous in the video.

And please don't think that I'm a typical run-of-the-mill pipe band, march playing highland piper. I play a concert pitch pipe to play with other instruments, and I play mostly this same kind of music.

just... lighten up, man.

@theherpman94

Why does almost every non-Highland piping video garner some sort of comment about Highland piping, or try to offer a comment originating from a GHB frame of reference?

Once and for all: GHB are ONE kind of bagpipes, ONE piping subculture among many. Other, non-GHB piping traditions are distinct entities unto themselves. Which is to say uilleann pipers CAN and DO develop ENTIRELY independently of the GHB pipe band scene, and have done so since the 1700s!

The uilleann piper must have switched over from highland pipes. he was really missing his blowpipe! =)

And if I'm not mistaken, Tommy's daughters are in the audience!

Tommy did a lot of sacrifices here to create a beautiful, flowing blend with Peadar's fiddling style. When playing solo, Tommy had an incredible staccato style which is judged by many as a real cornerstone under the tradition of Irish piping. I am proud to say that Tommy and I were friends and I will never forget him. My one regret is that I did not meet him earlier in life. An hour of his piping was recorded on video in 1989, two years before his death. I cherish that video. Tommy, R.I.P.!

@redhairedlad -- On that recording he has a very infectious reel timing, loosely dotted. It's easy to find partial clips to hear and well worth a purchase.
