thanks, yep today is global squeeze day
A fine initiative from the Confédération to promote squeezeboxes for the last years on may 6th.

If only I'd known that! Peaked too early: I played my new 48-bass CBA all day Saturday on a Morris outing, and yesterday performed with three other No.1 Ladies at an art exhibition in Portsmouth (on the Pigini CBA). Today I was plannning to take a day off from squeezing and give some time to the bagpipes...

..........and give some time to the bagpipes...

Bagpipes?..........are you serious?

 

[Anyanka]

Yes. I got a set of Jon Swayne student pipes for Christmas. They're English border pipes (not sure which border - England/Scotland, England/Wales, herbaceous?) and intended for playing for French dancing with my band, La Petite Vache.

 

[Guernseyman]

Definitely herbaceous!

Does your band have any you tube videos or audio files on the internet yet?

Not yet, but we'll get some recorded in June & stick them on our website - I'll let you know!
