Hello.
As you can see by the picture, I play the Great Highland
Bagpipes. This is your opportunity to see how I can meet
your piping needs. I am available for weddings, parties,
Irish or Scottish events, funerals, memorial services, and
any other event that would be that much better with a
piper. Free downloads of me playing pipes are
available.
My photo gallery might give
you an idea of some of the activities I have been involved
in. I play in two pipe bands, as noted below, and for a fun
diversion, I play clarinet in a traditional jazz band.
That’s Dixieland or New Orleans style, if you aren’t sure
what traditional jazz is. It’s fun, toe-tapping music. So,
if you find you have a need for a jazz band for your party
or dance, I can help you with that too.
I’ve been involved in musical
pursuits all my life. I have a not so great collection of
guitars and banjos and a much better group of ukuleles. I
sang in college madrigals and road shows, with the Austin
Civic Choir in Austin, Texas and with a championship
barbershop chorus. So, music is in my soul, so to speak,
and I think my varied musical experiences will help me
understand your musical needs.
The shuttle pipe tunes that
you can click on and hear, will give you an idea of a
quieter version of piping for indoor parties and listening.
I can do that on a solo basis or arrange for a duet of small
and shuttle pipes for your indoor occasion. If you would
really prefer a larger Highland bagpiping group, I can
arrange for two pipers or even two pipers and drums. A
small band!
I live in the Columbia River
Gorge and typically provide musical services within 1-2
hours of my home. But, regardless of where your event is,
let’s discuss how I might meet your needs. We can talk
about where and when your event is, what you need in a piper
and how I can provide a service for you. I look forward to
it.
