Hey guys and gals! Long time no see! I finally got myself a kilt! Its a Clan Mackenzie tartan. I got it from the Scottish Kilt Company for a good 80 smackers. Its real nice to! Real nice!

Here is a video of me and my friend Even (The drummer) playing the Church song "We Thank Thee o God for a Prophet" then we played a more fun and a more "jazzed up" version of the tune "Highland Cathedral" and "Scotland the Brave"
The video is real blurry, but the sound is great. If you kinda look hard, we used the seat of a folding chair as a drum. It turned into one of Evens favorite drums and he has found ways to make some real interesting sounds!
Anyways, I hope you guys like our performance... We won by the way. Everyone voted us the best.

I merged your two threads on the same topic Stu. Welcome to the forum and in the future if you don't see your posts right away, it's probably because our new members are automatically put on moderated status temporarily and your posts must be approved.

Gotta love ward talent shows

I assume that's where you were playing from the comments under your video. Wanna come play for my ward? I only live all the way in Wyoming...

Congratulations on your new kilt Stu!

As you say, it's a pity that the vid is blurred but the sound is good. I enjoyed the jazzed up Highland Cathedral and I guess that hearing a church song on the pipes was a novel experience for the audience. We thank Thee O God for a Prophet can't be an easy one to transcribe for the pipes.

I would love to hear Come, Come Ye Saints" or The Army of God on the pipes sometime!

Perhaps a photo to compensate for the blurriness so we can see the kilt in all its glory?

Well, if you do make a CD tell us! I'm so in. I think "Be Still my Soul" and "A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief" would sound good on pipes. I tried to figure them out on my practice chanter, but every time I start to get good on it, I end up pregnant and that makes piping impossible

Oh most definetly! I just gotta find some way to recorde myself and get some good softwear... Do you think adding a fiddle, an Irish tin whistle, and maybe a peanist in the mix would sound alright? Or should it just be streight up bagpipes and drums? I will see about teaching myself those two sings! I got "Come though font of many blessings" Almost down. That one is gonna be a real tear jerker!
