Here’s the latest set before I go to the Piper’s Gathering next weekend. They’re made of mopane with blackwood mounts.
Again, the set below being played before sending them out to Colorado. The A chanter this time and a tune I wrote back in May the day after a very beautiful wedding in Big Spring Tx. The wedding party and I were staying in this luxurious cabin with a view of miles of beautiful Texas. Everyone left that morning and I was all alone to write tunes in the cabin. It’s called “Awakening Big Spring”.
Just before sending the set below I went to the Asheville session and heard these two tunes played by the Uilleann piper. They make nice D chanter tunes for the SSP’s.
I try to do a lot of playing on every set of smallpipes and tonight this tune was coming off the fingers so I turned off all the lights and hit record. It’s one of the tunes for the Winter Storm contest in Kansas City in January.
Being home for a few weeks before the Piper’s Gathering has me practicing a lot and getting pipes made. Here’s the latest set out of Blackwood and Olive.
