When did you take up the pipes and why, what is your fav tunes or what tune do you dislike.
Looking forward to your thoughts.
I began the pipes 3 years ago at 34. It was something that I had looked into every few years, and kept putting it off. As luck would have it I found an instructor very nearby-so hear I am.
I still haven't masterd any jigs/strathspeys/reels but I am working on Paddy's leather breeches.
I have to echo Steam Train to Mallaig as a favorite. Simply wonderful
It doesn't need drums, IMHO
