Hello friends!

As if two episodes in a row of (mostly) monologues weren't enough -- this week what I have for you is chapter two of this 123-year-old book about bagpipes.

The chapter heading reads as follows:

Ancient musical instruments - Priestly harpers - Hereditary harpers - Irish versus Scottish harpers - Royal harpers - Use of harp universal - Welsh sarcasm - Mary Queen of Scots' harp - The last of the harpers - "The Harper of Mull" - From harp to pipes - the Clarsach - Pipes supplanting bards - The last clan bard - Bardic customs - Bards' jealousy of pipes - The bard in battle - Duncan Ban Mac Intyre - Two pipers scared - When the pipes became paramount - The fiery cross - The Coronach

If you missed chapter 1, it's provided as Episode 105

Tune into this episode to hear Jim mispronounce even more names...

Hello my good friends - I hope you'll forgive me, between being sick and getting the celebratory, "Pipes for Peace," album out into the world I have not had time to craft a, "real," episode for this week.

What you'll find here, instead, is the album promo I recorded for Big Rab this morning - and that's just all my voice could do. I'm afraid it's really taking a long time to get back to 100% healthy. That's been stitched-together with the episode 82 interview with Liz, the founder of Peace Through Music International.

If you have the time and inclination, please do check out the album. It has a lot of great music on it, the money goes to support a great cause, and the prizes we have for the St. Patrick's Day drawing are truly great as well.

Here's the album: https://droningon.bandcamp.com/album/pipes-for-peace

Here's info about Peace Through Music International: https://www.peacethroughmusicinternational.org/

And here's a list of the prizes on-offer:

-Guitar accessory pack from D'Addarrio

-Kelpie Whistle from MK Whistles

-MK Stealth II practice chanter (in Torpedo Case) from Maverick

-Lots of different whistles (including GHB-fingering whistles) from Generation

-Online bodhran course from Blayne Chastain

-A tune workshop from Get Bagpipe Ready

-Giftcards for BagpipeSwag.com

And... I think that's it... I need a nap...

Mark is a smallpipe-curious lapsed-highland-piper excellent uilleann-piper kinda guy and he's also extremely patient. We did this interview over a year ago, but because of various things (software changes, scheduling needs for other episodes, audio repair work, etc) it's been uber-delayed coming out. At this point, he may have even forgotten ever doing the interview! And actually, since doing the interview, I got to meet with Mark in-person and the guy even let me try his really nice flute! And since then... I've started trying to learn the flute so, it's Mark's fault...

If you are into smallpipes and have an internet connection, you've probably heard of or seen traces of Rod due to his playing, his participation in groups like the LBPS, Cairdeas, and the Pipers Gathering, etc not to mention his recently released album with folk band, "Fire in the Glen," as well as his many highland piping exploits -- but did you know that he also plays trombone, conducts choirs, and has seasonal allergies in the Spring! All that and more in this delightful interview! Enjoy, friends!

Tune into this episode to hear Rod say, “...so Chuck gave me a bag of whistles…” *Side note: neither of us got the amazing piping throat-singer's name quite right.

Kalare is a Doctor, and we can refer to her as such everywhere except inside a hospital. She studies, plays, teaches, practices, and recently picked up the pipes - she's rapidly becoming a pro aquarist and we didn't even get to the epic photo of her walking toward a helicopter: like, what? Does she also fly whirlybirds?

Put very simply: Liz helps people, especially kids, effected by war. She does so through music. She uses a lot of penny whistles to do this. I hope you'll enjoy this conversation, I really enjoyed talking with Liz and learning about what her organization does to help people effected by war around the world. (HEADS UP: some dark/heavy things come up in this conversation, just FYI, the kind of stuff that goes right along with war, i.e. death, rape, suffering, etc) A far more detailed description of what the charity does is, (pulled from their website): ------------

Our mission

Our mission is to transform the lives of war impacted children and adolescents through locally-run, youth-led music education programs.

As the refugee crisis around the globe hits unprecedented levels, Peace through Music International is striving to improve the lives of some of the world’s most vulnerable citizens through music. Since 1999, the organization has brought its programs to 20,000 children and taught 95,000 classes.

Objectives

Responding to the needs of our target population and expert findings, our programs are designed to meet these objectives:

*please see the Peace Through Music International website and/or our YouTube version of this interview for a full description of the organizations goals, purposes, etc - character limit prevents us from listing their full mission statement, etc here.

She's a piper, she's a drummer, she's a home builder, and she was once 16 going on 17 -- it's Leisel! A truly lovely human giving her precious time to join me for a truly lovely interview. I apologize that due to my own technical difficulties the sound quality isn't pristine in this episode. I do hope it's at least reasonably palatable because it was a joy to get to know Leisel a bit more and I hope everyone's able to join in on the joy here.

Tune into this episode to hear Leisel confess that her family was at least a little VonTrappy...

Tim is a unique guy living a unique life doing unique things - bagpipery and otherwise! I feel really bad I had to rush this interview. A rare thing I usually try to plan to not do, but there were some technical difficulties on the day of recording that not only restricted our conversation time, they also forced me to use a different platform and hardware than I usually do, and it was all rather a hasty last-minute plan-B arrangement. Therefore: I do apologize for the somewhat, "roomy," audio on my half of the conversation. But there's no reason to be paying attention to that half of the conversation anyway, Tim's got a lot of cool and interesting ideas, experiences, etc and we just got a taste in this interview - here's to another interview with Tim in the near future! In the meantime, enjoy!

Tune into this episode to hear how Tim has managed to become possibly the loudest, "double-agent," ever to attend a protest...

It's a three-episode month! It was a delight to get to know Scott during this episode - in spite of living in the same part of the country and having a lot of mutual friends, Scott and I had never spoken before this interview. He's a long-time bagpipe, a long-ago accordion, and he's one of the very, very few people in the world who can say he works for a railroad in Nebraska, USA.

Tune into this episode to hear all about Scott's plan to learn bagpipes in order to get a highland dancer to fall in love with him when but a wee lad...

Jenna is a talented multi-instrumentalist bagpiper, instructor, composer, and is generally willing to just try quirky stuff, especially when it comes to music, and especially-especially when it comes to bagpipes.

One half of the, "Wheezer & Squeezer," duo, ( https://wheezerandsqueezer.com/ ) Jeremiah McLane plays a bellows-blown reed instrument, but it ain't bagpipes... but he plays along with bagpiper Timothy Cummings. It's often (delightfully) surprised me how many pipers also play accordion, or want to play accordion, so I thought talking with an accordionist would be fun - especially one with so much experience making music with bagpipers.

Tune into this episode to hear about the amazing true story of when bagpipers and hurdygurdiers rose-up to drive back the Parisian accordionists -- in a story-book surprise, peace was found unexpectedly between the pipes & accordions with a marriage between members of the next generation...
