Praxis & Theoria. Practice makes perfect ????Unfortunately I can't really smoke where I play, otherwise I certainly would give it a go.

Ginger Baker RIP, would have been less combative if he had smoked a pipe while drumming, practice makes perfect...I can make a noise piping with Bodhran, Tambo, Djembe & Cajon. ????And I don't think a pipe and drums would work out well.

Your lucky ****, l've been listening to her for hours on YouTube. But spread the gospel of piping while grooving.????I've had the honor of seeing her live twice, once with the Carolina Chocolate Drops and once her solo, lucky for me she did both gaelic chant and Snowdens jig both times. I'm getting goose bumps just thinking about those performances. If anyone ever gets the chance to see her or the Carolina chocolate drops...DO IT!!!!! Also I play Bass and guitar.
As long as the Nording whistles 'Dixie' then it is fine by me ?. The Groovebox makes a cool sound to pipe to, I'll never make a Liberace of the Keyboard myself, & don't bother much with chords as B.B. King would have said. If you cannot pipe in cadence while playing, why not clench it unlit, it will give you something to chew over while grooving ..???I have a Nording that whistles. Does that count? ?
Recently started to try to learn the keyboard. Barely plinking so far. Unfortunately, I can't smoke at home, otherwise maybe I could get my pipe to teach my piano cadence and vice versa? ?
That Bluegrass would go well with a cob in the mouth, lit or unlit ?????Bodhran, guitars, and, as of a couple of weeks ago, learning my way around the bluegrass dobro.

It would be fun sir, but never played with others that is another skill...just do my own thing with free improvs..but my dog likes to howl along with me...????????@MrTom
We have got to get together and play some wierd instruments sometime!
I have and play guitars, keyboards, mandolins, ukelele, djambe drums, egg shakers, and one time I got to play a harp, and I killed it! (No seriously I had a blast playing a full sized harp in a music store one time, it was great!)
Me too. I am only ‘playin’ when the family is out. With the pipe, I am out when the family is in.It would be fun sir, but never played with others that is another skill...just do my own thing with free improvs..but my dog likes to howl along with me...????????
