Re: North Hero 2005

We will gladly attend next year, as long as costs remain relatively the same. Hope ...

I've seen Patrick D'Arcy and Debbie Quigley play together, at the 2003 San Francisco Tionol, and they were great! Debbie Quigley is indeed a marvelous piper. The only recording I know of from her are a couple of cuts on the North Hero CD. Hopefully there will be more from her soon. Best wishes. Steve

Since the concerts have been mentioned, perhaps it's time to put in yet one more shameless plug for the North Hero Concert CD with some of the best of 2001-2002. If these continue to sell there may be sufficient funds to do a 2003-2004 CD. See the Pipers Gathering website at www.pipersgathering.org ...

Not at all upset. Just want to get the message out that the current product is the "new, improved" version. As noted, the CD is intended to raise money for the events. The performers and tune authors, bless their hearts, donated their performances and material. We had to pay for sound and ...

I had a chance to hear an advance version of this, and while I don't want to demean their efforts to raise funds, it wasn't all that good. I don't think they were plugged into the main board when they did the recordings. However, there were some fairly good tracks, and some facinating stuff by Moeb...
