Tune List and samples of what they sound like

The Amazing "Triple Pipe"

What is a Triple Pipe? As far as I am able to tell it appears to be an ancient fore runner of the bagpipe as we know it today. Look at this pages background and notice the shepherd boy and what he is playing, it is a triple pipe inserted into a water bag, and he is playing it like a bagpipe. The man you see in the top left two photos is Barnaby Brown, a pipe scholar who has done a lot of interesting research into the bagpipe and it's history. Check out his web sight at http://www.triplepipe.net. In the mean time, listen to a tune played by him on the triple pipe itself: "JOHN PURSER"

This is sad because I don't even know when their events are and don't know when I can go there or not. I'm not sure even what to do. I'm going to try to join the Lake Greggory Chamber of Commerce, and perhaps be included in the whole "wedding offering" package there.

Would you like your event to be energized by the sound of bagpipe music? If you can imagine the impact your event will have and how important it is to you, perhaps considering a scottish piper to make it more provoking.
