So it's been a while since I've posted, and I apologize. Rather than try to piece together my scratchy notes from the jams since I last posted, I figure I'll just pick up from the latest jam.
And the latest jam was a doozie! Thanks to everyone who came out to the Royal Mile to make it happen. Eight fiddles (with Doug sometimes on guitar), a piano, a cello, two guitars, bouzouki, two percussionists (with Scott sometimes switching to whistle), and then there was me on fiddle, reel pipes, flute, and whistle. We were almost too big for the pub, which was also packed with a grateful and appreciative audience!
