My 1st CD - The track list is at the page bottom

In response to numerous requests for some sample music, I recorded this CD..  With the exception of the "live" and "smallpipe" tracks, each tune listed below is a medley , starting with the song listed. These medleys are very common with both pipe bands and individual pipers, but only represent a small sample of what I can play for your event.   The live tracks were recorded in Feb 2008, at the Boothbay Opera House.  Also, all of the instruments on this CD, (bagpipes, smallpipes, violin, guitar, flute and harp are played by me)  The cost for the CD is $10 and includes shipping (Paypal accepted).  Contact me for more information.

Simply select the tune, listen and enjoy.

 I recorded these tracks at the ScotMel Studio in Brunswick, Maine.   The only enhancement was to remove some background noise, and equalize tracks.  The live tracks were recorded at the Boothbay Opera House in Feb of 2008.  The pipes used are  Dunbar DB4's & Dunbar P4's, both equipped with Balance Tone Drone reeds, and Gilmour medium chanter reeds.  Smallpipe tunes use John Walsh A-2000 & D-2000 Smallpipes.  The flute, called a Bansuri, is an ancient Hindustani bamboo instrument made by Sri Jeff Whittier.
