The Irish pipes are often called small pipes and sound as different as ukuleles do to an acoustic guitar. Its a haunting plaintive music, the pipes. A sound I’ve grown used to over the years being married to a piper. St. Patrick’s day is a day of marathon piping for my family. Parades & marching bands & suddenly every bar is a Pub for a day.

and warm your heart
till it glows …
Here are a few:
Happy to be so,
