Episode 07-The Piper

What's the buzz behind the uilleann pipes? Here's the story of Irish piping: how the chanter, drones, and regulators hum together…. and how the lure, the lore, and the love of the uilleann pipes go for The Rowsome family, Tim Britton, Tom Rota, Patrick Hutchinson, and Isaac Alderson. 

There's plenty of music here, too. Credits below.
