This must have been 1989, not 1979, based on Harley's references to Bush, Mitterand, Gorbachev.

Interesting playing...he has his pipes on the right arm...nice. o.o

Mr. Harley (RIP), you have inspired a fellow Bagpiper to push the boundaries into jazz. I never realized that this combination worked so well.

I did sound for this dude at The Pennypack Park Concert Series in the early 90's. Got the gig through The Zeo Brothers! Guess who was on the bil that day too ... Holmesburg Country Jam. Rob Ezzo's buddy Jerry set me up and I took over for the next 8 to 10 hours.

Nice drones too, looks like he's playing Sinclair or MacPhersons.

He's probably the best self-taught piper I've ever heard.
