Hi Bob, Can't say much about the makers, but I ordered some ABW from australia. Cost less than 1/2 the amount it would have in the U.S. I beielve it was due to...

Whilst not entirely familiar with prostitute etiquette (at least in England anyway) I can advise that busking potential varies from town to town. Some love it...
AS others have said busking is legal. If you are also selling tapes or Cds you can fall foul of street trading laws however. I only ever got warnings on this,...

Hey, thanks for the info and the invite to the meerting. I may be in Scotland at the time of that next meeting, but nothing is set in stone yet. I'll see...

First, thanks to Richard for posting. A tiny clarification: on some PCs the link he sent will work, but on some it will need to be http://web.wt.net/~liestman/...
Mark, You just asked the $64,000 question. You can play most of what is in Peacock with them. I have yet to find any tunes that have a natural seventh up high...

Hi John, I'm afraid I don't have any great revelations. Since Ceol Mor was the main stuff of military piping at the time, the pipers of the 42nd, 77th, and...
