Aye laddie
The pipes be beautiful.

These are the greatest musicians in the English speaking world in the last 100 years.

My #3 Son was a drummer in this pipe band:

http://youtu.be/WMwNn65Vb1c I believe he is at the far left in this video. But I could be mistaken. I did see him at a few 4th of July Parades. And other places. Until he decided he wanted to be a rock drummer. He teaches drumming at a local music store these days. And plays with a band that does public performances around the area. My favorite was a winter or two ago when he played at the Roscoe VFW.

(I was mistaken - that is the Illinois Pipe Band - He was in the City of Rockford Pipe Band)

I have always been partial to the pipes. It was a joy to see him in that band. He was also a drummer in his High School Marching Band.

http://www.cityofrockfordpipeband.com/i ... our-school Bob Gough is a long time family friend. His kids and ours went to school together. He started the band in 2000. My son was in it for about 3 or 4 years so none of the videos have him in it.

great fiddler but greatest musician...?

[GIThruster]

Of course its very subjective but find another musician who can play for hours without a single wrong note on a very difficult instrument, playing fast and furious 16th notes while smiling and high step dancing in high heels. I don't know of anyone who compares.

Too, as someone who in a past life performed in a small chamber choir that sang in 8 part harmonies in 6 languages, and in barbershop quartets, I have never seen the equal to this:

Not saying he is better.
Amazing skill.

That's very good. I've watched the Celtic Women many times, and I especially favor that one who plays the fiddle. However, when it comes to a capella I very much like old school Rockappella and Tonic Sol-fa.

That was pretty good, but of course every good Piano player does something similar every time he plays. I will grant you that it's harder on a two handled guitar, but that dividing the left hand and right hand into two different parts at the same time? Like I said, Piano players always play music that way.


Here is one of my favorite.
