Hey pipe'n people. Thanks for checking out The Podtastic Piper Radio Program where I hope to discuss anything bagpipe related. My name is Chris and after many years of dreaming about learning to play the mastic Great Highland Bagpipes I finally took the leap and committed myself to study the art. I currently within my 2nd year of playing and I hope to use my perspective as a newbie to aid and encourage any person who is likewise just starting out, or is still just considering getting started. Additionally, I hope to engage more experienced pipers who could offer their experiences and insights for the betterment of all.
The world of bagpiping is vast and deep. It seems to me that one could spend a lifetime perfecting the musicianship of playing the bagpipes and exploring the culture associated with the bagpipe which spans the globe.
I am currently employed as a full-time firefighter/paramedic and part-time police officer. I have the honor of providing the both soloum or celebratory sounds of the Great Highland Bagpipes for all types of events.
One of the greatest benefits I have discovered thus far in my short time playing has been the community of wonderful people who share the passion for playing the bagpipes.
I encourage
