The bagpipes are a heavy instrument. They bring you places (physically/emotionally). I was once told that the breeze will always pick up when the service is about to start, and sure enough, it does.

This is what it is all about. I appreciate you all.

It's been a fun and festive few days with my 'mates and performing solo, and I just want to quickly say THANK YOU to everyone that came out, that supported me and the fine business's along with EP city hall that brought me out to play some tunes.

Hello all, I figured I would give this a try.

On Monday, 3/17 I have a musical gap between 2 pm-5 pm. Do you know any establishment(s) that would be interested in a bagpiper popping in to serenade some Irish revelers? (I would be in the east bay area of RI).

Appreciate you all! Looking forward to a festive weekend!
