Thats a genuine likely suited tale. :D A couple of years ago Brian had a Gig playing in a pub in South Park Colorado (a real place.. but not quite as glamorous as the cartoon makes it out to be) during the Ladies Bike Run. Being a Bike Run weekend and all, he rode his Bike.. He rode through town buc...

As far as conservitism goes... My covers are at least a touch more on the conservative side than "Cheeky Covers". My reasoning for not doing standard Fringe on Brians cover, has very much to do with sentiments expressed here regarding fringe getting tangled and in the way etc. I can indeed...

You could always call it the Uncomphagre Uilleann group... See that way you have two words that most people spell wrong, and have the slightest idea how to pronounce. :roll:

Shoot me an Email when you have some stuff going on, I might come over to have a looksee.

Is there an electronic pitch pipe out there with lots of bells and whistles? Selectable pitch, tonic and dominant, all that? The Peterson VS1, VS2, and V-SAM have all the bells and whistles that exist. As Scott said, your ear is the best tuner. In the case of K### tuners your ear is like 5 cents mo...

For the pipes, you can't beat the Peterson VSAM: I will second that, and add that for ANY tuning job "Nessie" is unbeatable. The Wee tuning monster in the Blue Bonnet. :D I got the origional VS1 when it fist hit the streets. I tested the Peterson and CA30 against a tuning fork.. the CA-30...

It need not neccesarily be a huge operation, especially the part with Lawyers and 501c3. Now state non-profit status on the other hand is a good idea. Thats about as complicated as handing the clerk $50 and a set of bylaws. (mostly they want the $50) With at least state non-profit, you get some reco...

The Aspen Highschool had a really good one last year. (or maybe it was Breckenridge) I cant remember what it was, but they managed to get a rather large object up on top of the School. They still havent figured out how it got up there.. It took authorities a while to figure its way back down. As I r...

Any piping lawyers present?
I am sure theres a few. I know for a fact that there are rather a lot, too many for my taste who gravitate towards GHB's... The Dunsire forum is chock full of threads about carry ons, and encounters with 'Father Land Security'.

The tube cover I had with the original bag cover is roughly 9 3/4" long X 4" circumference. Might be too late, but hope this helps! Not too late at all. I will run one out quick like.. and also a Gortex tube, (I have some extra that I need to do something with) you will need to seal the s...

I am not exactly sure how whistle notation looks, and whatnot.. but one might even be able to use the "Electric Pipes" software to convert it. The free trial package is a great for pipes.. but you never know unless you try it out.
