This episode contains a recording of a recent practice session. It is presented in all its crudeness and will hopefully stand as a comparison for which to mark progress against. The band, City of Mt. Dora Pipe Band, has always got me looking forward to and taking on new tunes. At this point we are moving from St. Patties Day into the patriotic holidays. Consequently, the songs of highest priority are the 5 U.S. military tunes, as well as the other classic patriotic tunes. I’m also continuously attempting to keep the previously learned songs somewhat fresh.

I’m still attempting to find an effective method of recording the pipes. This time I tried two mics, one towards the drones, and another facing the chanter. Upon review, seems to be way too much drones in the recording. Good lesson.  

Thanks for listening. I’d love any feedback
