$2M deal for Royal Scots Dragoon Pipers

**Rex_Tremende** · 13th November 07, 03:43 PM

NPR launched recently a new multimedia website all about music that features interviews, profiles, studio sessions, concerts, reviews and such in all kinds of genres. Since I apparently live in some sort of a bunker, where radio reception is very poor, I've been spending a lot of time surfing here.

This weekend they added a story about a new recording by the Royal Scots Dragoon pipers. Visit http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...oryId=16197024 and click "LISTEN NOW."

Regards,
Rex.

Thanks Rex.
That was a a very interesting piece, I can not wait for the CD to be released I will be looking for it at the end of the month. Listening to their rendition of Amazing Grace gave me goosebumps.

Yes, thanks. I was surprised how moving it (Amazing Grace) was.

Don't forget, the RSDragoons Pipes and Drums are touring the US (along with the band of the Coldstream Guards) during January/February 2008.

Do you have a schedule for them? That would be great to see/hear if they are going to be in Colorado.

I saw the Dragoons with the welsh guard when they came to Asheville a few years ago. If you can see it go by all means. Unbelieavable show!

I've not been able to locate one online yet, but am looking.

I don't usually listen to NPR, but that was fantastic. I can't wait for the CD to be released. Not only was Amazing Grace good, but The Dark Island is fast becoming one of my favorites. I downloaded The Black Watch Pipes and Drums CD "The Dark Island" from iTunes. The best $9.99 I ever spent!!!
