FGL Sports has a monthly Fun and Fit day where all of their employees quit working early the first Friday of each month, and they have an organized sports day
This month was no different with one difference. They hired me to play before the event, as well as between each sport.
Here is a pic of myself and Jeff, the organizer.
I spent some quality time with my recording studio this evening. After many takes (5 tracks mixed down in this version) I’ve rendered this lovely tune. If the tune doesn’t start automagically, you need to click on the tune bar just to the left of the 0:00 time indicator.

During our practice today, we had a number of people walking by telling us how they lived on the next street (or two) over, and they were thrilled that they could hear us. One guy was walking his dog, but on the way to go get his girlfriend as she loves the Pipes.
We also had a tune request. The moment we switched from warm up (evcryone on their own) to group formation, we were asked by a neighbour across the street to play Mairi’s Wedding. Ironically, that was the first tune of the first set we were going to play.
While everyone but one was present (and he was accounted for), there is always room in the group for more pipers and drummers to join us. In the future, we also hope to have some affiliated Highland Dancers.
Slainte!
Well OK, maybe not so crazy. C performed this past weekend, leading the procession. At one time, he was joined in a jam session by 2 other pipers.

<h1>How do the Celts celebrate the Equinox?</h1> Well, I am not totally sure, especially in the cold weather in Alberta, but I understand it used to involve dancing around naked under the full moon. Add in some bagpipes, and that can’t be all bad 🙂
