Hello my good friends - I hope you'll forgive me, between being sick and getting the celebratory, "Pipes for Peace," album out into the world I have not had time to craft a, "real," episode for this week.

What you'll find here, instead, is the album promo I recorded for Big Rab this morning - and that's just all my voice could do. I'm afraid it's really taking a long time to get back to 100% healthy. That's been stitched-together with the episode 82 interview with Liz, the founder of Peace Through Music International.

If you have the time and inclination, please do check out the album. It has a lot of great music on it, the money goes to support a great cause, and the prizes we have for the St. Patrick's Day drawing are truly great as well.

Here's the album: https://droningon.bandcamp.com/album/pipes-for-peace

Here's info about Peace Through Music International: https://www.peacethroughmusicinternational.org/

And here's a list of the prizes on-offer:

-Guitar accessory pack from D'Addarrio

-Kelpie Whistle from MK Whistles

-MK Stealth II practice chanter (in Torpedo Case) from Maverick

-Lots of different whistles (including GHB-fingering whistles) from Generation

-Online bodhran course from Blayne Chastain

-A tune workshop from Get Bagpipe Ready

-Giftcards for BagpipeSwag.com

And... I think that's it... I need a nap...

Episode 100!

Thanks for listening, friends, I'm very excited to share this announcement with you - and extremely grateful to Rab, JD, Jeremy, Josh, & Andy for their help filling-in. I had a cold around 10 days ago and am all better except my voice has been missing all week!

Benjamin is a great piper (of various pipes), a brilliant tinkerer, and a master wearer of cool hats.

Tune into this episode to hear what was happening in the past, because Benjamin was very cool to do this interview with me before my most recent baby arrived, meaning the turnaround for the edit & publication was SUPER long.

The Reel Folk are more than just folk who like Reels (though they are that, to be sure).

You may have seen them gracing the YouTubiverse with their amazing fantasy take on the Critical Role theme (if not, check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hb9p2PBTbm8 ) but did you know that they've recently put out a holiday album?

Well, they did. And we talked about it in this episode.
