The Homestead Pickin' Parlor in Minneapolis used to have it Patrick, that's where I got my copy many, many years ago... 1989? 1990?misterpatrick wrote:Speaking of The Dance Music of Willie Clancy, anyone know where I can pick up a copy in the US (other than stealing it off of tommykleen's shelf). I've searched around but can't find it anywhere. Well, other than the aforementioned shelf.

- Tell us something.: I am interested in the uilleann pipes and their typical -and broader- use. I have been composing and arranging for the instrument lately. I enjoy unusual harmonic combinations on the pipes. I use the pipes to play music of other cultures.

In my humble experience, when you start geting bored with something, you are at a good point to actually start learning. The portion of the brain that gets bored hates repetition, but the repetition is what is required to ingrain habits (whether good or bad) into the non-verbal part of the brain. I hate getting bored too, but I just remind myself that now I'm really/b] starting to practise.

I got bored of piping once as well - lasted about 5 years. I still did the occasional gigs but stuck to the old repertoir and did no practice but perhaps for or five days a year. It wasn't till I saw a video of me playing one of the gigs that I realised just how much my ability to pipe had backslidden. I thought 'That's it, no more procrastiation...I'm not going to embarass myself any longer with such pityful performances' .....back into it like never before with renewed drive and vigour. I've caught up again to where I used to be and not reluctant to admit that I've also surpassed my previous ability. A stint of boredem eventually paid off by giving me the renewed energy to break through my previous plateau.

I just spoke to Seth to find out how he feels.. and Ithink it should be iterated that Seth isn't bored of piping, pipe making, nor Irish music. Not to mention, I was very impressed by a recent chanter of his.

The funny thing is, there's always something right underneath your nose that'll jolt you out of your slump. The difficult part is to have the stamina to keep up the search.

Peter Laban on another thread:
Lads, if anyone has a legitimate comment on a particular make of pipes it should be OK to post it here. As I said before it seems perfectly OK to have people who don't know their arse from their tit post glowing comments about pipes here that in reality are dubious at best without anyone raising an eyebrow. For the sake of clarity and fairness it should be possible to raise any legitimate issue here.
agreed
Lewis Blewins:
I'm also bored with the PC of this list. Where are the good ole days when one could have some fun, be provocative, play the devils advocate, and also simply speak honestly? Where did all the guys who could not take a ribbing come from? Why do people misread or interpret one another with increasing frequency? Where's the craic? I don't blame our moderators....I blame the community of those who subscribe and post. Maybe I'm just as guilty.....but .......
most definitely agreed.
I couldn´t resist to stir up things :
Lewis Blewins, Liam Hackett and Joseph E. Smith really are the worst pipers I ever saw and Mr. Blewins´reeds and pipes are crap and so are Mr. Smith´s and Mr. Hackett´s paintings.
