2022/06/25

My good buddy and frequent guest, Swan, surprised me with wings and a request for a story we've chatted about often before: though it be poorly prepared & presented, may you nonetheless enjoy the Ballad of Tony's Bagpipe Bard! Tune into this episode to hear James miscredit a quote to Jane Austen which rightfully, (or mythologically,) belongs to F. Scott Fitzgerald - which is especially funny because The Great Gatsby actually came up in the conversation! Here's a link to a memorial page for Tony:

The only, "Exotic Piper," I know, Marc has been on an interesting journey from his parochial choir-boy days amongst Roman ruins to rising through the artificial Brigadoonish mists in a local Utah theatre...

*Updated Audio: previously I'd accidentally released this episode with a sample track of PM Willie Gray muted, so around the 1hr mark there's just a moment of silence. This has now been corrected & the tune is audible. Kirk Potter is a Drummer by day and a Computer Geek... also by day. Creating PadLab with Rhythm Monster wasn't enough for Kirk, he had to go and revolutionize the world of pipe band music notation as well with his award-winning, Ensemble.
