self-taught pipes?

[sharpdressedscot]

Where in NC are you located? There's a few pipebands in Raleigh/Durham and there is one in Fayetteville. My teacher lives in Raleigh but gives lessons down in Fayetteville, so I get pipes twice a week, most weeks. I used the John Cairns system while in Iraq to maintain myself and made a little progress.

I live in Gastonia/Charlotte. I found a band, one of the only two I could go.
And the other one plays Irish Warpipes!
