Piping since the age of 11 Gemma enjoyed making music in competition settings as well as on stage, via social media, and more – and not just on the pipes, she plays Bass and other stuff too! Gemma’s piping has helped her get through college, and Gemma has taken her pipes to lots of memorial services, football games, magazine features, radio show appearances, concerts, and also a tour with Jesse Ofgang (see episode 86 of the Droning On podcast).

Tune into this episode to get the 100% legit advice for distinguishing alligators from crocodiles (sorry, we’ve got nothing for you when it comes to caimans…)
